After confirming 220 changes with Tiny Watcher, I thought it was over...but it was just a prelude for what was to come. ;)

So the install, started at 10.08 AM and finished at 11.11 AM.

I did not realise that it would take so long.

Do we get a gold star next to our names now?

And yes, there a bunch of new updates that need to be installed/reinstalled after installing SP3.
Plenty of files are changed when installing SP3. Files also get changed when installing other updates. It's the nature of the game.
