Obviously.

I am calling the entire package a fake, no matter where some of its part
came from.

LOL!  And Michael Jackson never had plastic surgery!  Just because

Why?  Does that make somebody else's assertion to be the truth?

You are the only one using the SP moniker.  Both your links also claim
to be SP3.  They don't have SP3.

It is a fake since it is not a MS-prepaired compilation of patches.  If
I build a car from parts and I sell it or even give it away as a
Mercedes, is it a really a Mercedes?  No, it is a fake.

This so-called SP3 preview from
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Windows_XP_Service_Pack_3_Preview_d4754.html
which really is the first link you gave, is a fake.
