no, no at all. I have installed it on 30 desktops. The only advice I think its worth mentioning - if you are using any 3rd party firewall, exit stop and disable it on this installation and restart time. SP3 replace many system files, so I had a problem restarting system. My service firewall blocked some system dlls because they had different size and thumbprint so it thought it is a virus or something.. it took foreverto get to the desktop, windows needs those dlls and somehow it went through. Deactivating firewall let me reboot in a minute then turn it on and answer "yes" for all firewall questions regarding dll/system files update.

We done an upgrade in work from SP2 and it took hours, but seemed ok afterwards.

We tried a fresh install on another computer and the first time the computer would not book into windows(not once!), and the second time it crashed during the install. So we stayed with Sp2
