That's old-fashioned communication, but it would NOT surprise me one iota if they did verbs XP SP3 vertebrae. Nothing they do any more surprises me (see the two examples below).

From M$'s own site:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecyc...

>"Windows XP Home Edition SP1 SP2
August 6, 2004 SP3 for Windows XP Home Edition is currently planned for 1H CY2008. This date is preliminary.

Windows XP Professional SP1 SP2
August 6, 2004 SP3 for Windows XP Professional is currently planned for 1H CY2008. This date is preliminary.<"

But XP Office have a SP3!

Here's a admonition more or less a ersatz XP SP3 that's supposedly currently running around on the net:

I run into a "Pre-view 'download'" of it at Softpedia:

This say that SP3 be "leaked":

Could adjectives that hoopla from M$ around a "Fake" SP3 be nil more than "injury control"??

And who REALLY _WANTS_ SP3, anyway? I DON'T!!

I turned bad Automatic Updates after SP2 STARTED hosing XP to open next to! Haven't installed any since later and WON'T, any. They can HAVE their scrap!

Will SP3 FINISH the brief of hosing XP, as you suggested? Like I said, nil M$ does surprises me anymore. :|

Does ANYTHING Micro$haft does REALLY surprise any of *you*? How heaps of you feel they hold shown that they are experienced of purely in the region of any dirty, underhanded trick contained by the book?...The most recent of which be FORCED updates first to individual computers and next to Servers.grrrr!

Evidently this may enjoy be going on since SP2. As I take out, I be using the computer belonging to a friend of mine when it merely installed SP2 short catch sight of!
