You might want to consider whether you really need to install this SP, though. I don't see anything right off the bat that's going to get me pumped up enough to upgrade all my users :) I'm just going to run SP4 on my test machine for now, and leave the SP3 in place elsewhere. Unless I see something that looks important...vfp7 will be out before too long, you know.
