0	Hi, Let me clarify some points. There is no relation with MVC and Xp service pack 3. Actually a relation has between Visual studio and OS (xp or windows 7). If you want to install VS2010 then XP service pack 3 is mandatory. But you will feel better with Windows 7 and VS2010. If VS2008 is already installed and now you want to install MVC extension, just try to install that MVC extension. It will notify you that XP SP3 is mandatory or not. Just Try ..
