Microsoft has announced the release of Windows XP Service Pack 3. The release schedule follows the rumours circulating last week.

Ditto

Kierax · 22nd Apr 2008, 14:13

About time, and I just went to Vista too...damn.

Hg · 22nd Apr 2008, 15:40

will there be a sp3 for windows xp x64?

Kierax · 22nd Apr 2008, 15:58

Probably when Windows Server 2003 updates AFAIK.

Redbeaver · 22nd Apr 2008, 16:40

so when's Vista SP2 is out?

:P

Kierax · 22nd Apr 2008, 16:47

Nah when we are talking about Windows 8.

Krikkit · 22nd Apr 2008, 17:09

Hurrah! When was SP3 supposed to be released? I thought it was late Q3, early Q4?

Maybe I'm being a tit.

pendragon · 22nd Apr 2008, 17:54

i'll be getting this certainly for all my PC's ...glad for more XP updates!

wuyanxu · 22nd Apr 2008, 19:37

nice to see MS still supports older products, unlike nVidia! (all their beta leaks only support 9 series, wtf?! )

to me, it makes sense to support XP if Vista is 64bit only, but MS is has pointless put out 32bit Vista, and at the same time, still provides support for XP. me thinks they should ditch Vista 32bit.

Looking forward to SP3, should have been done years ago. It will be nice to slipstream in the 120+ updates that came out after SP2 for a more painless install

I plan to use XP until doomsday, and I hope SP3 is a quiet admission of MS that people still love and want XP and will never get Vista, and should support us too.
