Errata: "... it only did this..."
The system seems to be running better; Explorer windows pop up faster, apps start a little bit faster (don't know if it's the Placebo effect). But, the conclusion: definitely works. Now I'll be able to keep playing all those old (and great) games.
I downloaded and installed it. Setup went smoothly, no errors. After rebooting, the "windows 2000 look" comes up (blueish background, changed icons in Explorer). Even if it only dod this, and still, I would have installed it (I'm a sucker for eyecandy).
Right now I'm writing from the machine running the unofficial service pack (AMD K6-II+/500 MHz, 96 MB SDRAM) and it's running fine. Congratulations to the author, he did a really great job (no more Windows Update on a 33.6 kbps dialup connection - yes, these really do still exist:P).
I remember: when using FoxPro 2.x (the MSDOS version), if you created a shortcut to the main executable Windows automatically set the "fox head" icon + other parameters for your ".lnk" (this was in Windows 9x). This behaviour was present with the Borland C and Pascal compilers.
You can check all the "preconfigured" apps (those which will get their personalised icons from Windows) by opening the file moricons.dll in your Windows folder with a resource editor. Or by creating a random shortcut, choosing "Change Icon..." and browsing for the moricons.dll file.
Who cares ? I run WinUpdate right after I install

Examining Microsoft Update

Really. Run Windows Update right after a new Windows installation, without other programs installed; therefore, no interesting information for Microsoft (other than Notepad and Paint being installed).
After that, subscribe to one or two good security mailing lists and never use Windows Update again (you will probably find out faster about new vulnerabilities anyway), and download the appropriate patches directly from Microsoft's web site, by following the security advisories.
Agreed, it's a little extra work, but as far as I care, it's worth it.
