A quick search on Google Images for Windows XP Pro SP3 by Amit Talkin showed me the following screenshots suggesting that someone with the yahoo id (amit_talkin) has created a slipstreamed version of Windows XP Professional integrating all the patches or hotfixes released by Microsoft.
Turns out it is actually a pirated copy of Windows XP (ISO installer) which also includes Microsoft Office 2003. Here's the description written on one of the forums [link removed intentionally]
Windows XP Pro SP3 Unattended install by Amit Talkin. (with Vista theme and more)While I have written extensively about Windows XP SP3 on this blog, there's absolutely no connection with the above XP SP3 installer except the first name "Amit"
Includes M$ Office 2003, Adobe Reader 7, MSN Messenger, Firefox.
Completely silent, unattended and activation free, no serial needed. Windows XP Pro SP3 Unattended Install (Inc MS Office 2003). Will burn to 700mb cd.
Vista Sound Pack, Vista Transformation ( including new vista beta 2 themes, styles, glass effect many more )
ABOUT WINDOWS XP SP3 Build 2!!!!!
This Comes With Microsoft Office 2003 SP2( Full...SlipStreamed 75 MB)...Total ISO Size is 695 MB!!
Infact, Microsoft has earlier warned XP Customers against downloading the XP SP3 preview package that surfaced on the internet few months ago. If you are keen on installing all the Microsoft patches released after XP SP2, I would again suggest Autopatcher XP - perfectly legal.

IF u really want the SP3 edition use torrents. uTorrent or azures is required but can be DL for free on the net, the simply find the torrent. I am curently running Sp3 on a few machines, ive hade a flawless experence everytime. But i dont recomend trying to use the upgrage install. The app just wasnt designed for it.

I was haveing the same problem as many people trying to find the cd key for Sp3. I used torrents to download the Sp3 package from Isohunt.com useing azurus. In order to use these it asks for a cd key and the cd key is the same as a SP2 cd key. This can easily be found useing a program like ares or limewire. All you do is type in Windows Sp2 cd key and then typ it in when it asks for it when trying to install SP3.

My friend installed a copy of the amit_talkin XP SP3. The IE has a "Hacked by Godzilla" title. Isn't that a bug?...

Hello,
I guess most of the commenters missed the point...
I hope you don't get in trouble because of this.
Cheers.
