I tried installing it on my desktop and worked just fine. Not sure about the VirtualBox but I reckon should be the same as well.

@thelostdunmer Im confused with your comment, contradicting sentences.

Microsoft will not pull the plug on SP3 download because they’re supposed to let people download it. But if as you say there are problems, Microsoft will release a patch, not re-release SP3.

And you will really not find anything unusual with your SP3′d machine, coz this one’s supposed to fix a thousand bugs from SP1+SP2

This is very odd as Microsoft hasn’t pulled the plug yet on this direct download, I already installed it in my own machine and I still have to found anything unusual with my box. I did some research and this is the actual sp3 but is not widely available through automatic update or windows update since it breaks the MS Dynamics RTMS. The problem is also related to Vista SP1.

I wonder how much disk space it will consume? Service packs has always been HD space hogs.

Plus, M$ has been known to issue patches to its service packs. Sheesh…
