    What I don't understand is if SP3 is mostly an accumulation of previous MS updates, why did the used space on my boot drive go from 6GB to 7GB? That's an awful lot of space for something that supposedly was already there.

    I found the $ntservicepackuninstall$ folder. A properties check tells me it was created yesterday, the same day I installed SP3. This makes sense. But what I can't figure out is why it is blue in color. Only compressed old files are supposed to be blue. How could this be a compressed old file if it was created yesterday?
