It does security wise for sure, helps a lot when you have a Windows XP SP3 integrated disk in case of re-installation as would save good 200 MB update download

Its better to install all patches and service packs on windows as it is very vulnerable to security threat.
Cooldip, for most of the people here, DVD provided by Digit doesn't work, so its of no use. He will have to get it from someone else.

Remote desktop has issues with XP SP3, dont install it unless Remote desktop is not required for your day to day work.
