SQL server 2005 SP3 Issues?

Are there any known issues with SQL server 2005 SP3 that may cause critical problems? Our client is using Windows 2003 64bit. They haven't upgraded to SP3, because they are afraid that it will cause issues in their critical system.

We've been running SP3 on OLTP and Reporting/Analysis Services servers for quite a few months with no problems. Mind you, it was a long install process. A good half an hour, so be prepared for that.

I suggest you review the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP3 Release Notes for any relevant issues.

We've been running it for a while on our servers with no issues, for what that's worth.

I run it on several 64 Bit SQL2005 clusters with no issues...
