Microsoft have made this available as a high-priority download from www.windowsupdate.com

At the time of writing it is not available as a direct download. I assume that will follow later today or in the next few days.

It is offered as a single 66.9mb download and installs just like any other Windows Update. You have to agree to the license agreement then when the SP3 Installer starts you are offered a backup of your current files. You should do this.

I installed this on my Main Windows XP Pro desktop machine and the total install took about 40 minutes to complete successfully.

I would hold off for a few days to wait and see if there are any XP SP3 horror stories.
