Exclamation Windows XP SP3 Released!

MS has released Windows XP SP3. Here is a summary of the changes:

Windows XP SP3 includes all previously released Windows XP updates, including security updates and hotfixes, and select out-of-band releases. For example, the service pack includes functionality previously released as updates, such as the Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) 3.0 and the Microsoft Core XML Services 6.0 (MSXML6).

Knowledge Base article 936929 lists all other all Knowledge Base articles associated with updates that are included in Windows XP SP3

Microsoft is not adding significant functionality from newer versions of Windows, such as Windows Vista, to Windows XP through XP SP3. For instance, Windows XP SP3 does not include Windows Internet Explorer 7, although Windows XP SP3 does include updates to both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7, and it will update whichever version is installed on the computer.

Windows XP SP3 overview can be downloaded HERE.

Yeah i read about this - Luckily for the XP fanatics Microsoft decided to continue XP support, since they were gonna ditch it. Some OEM retailers will also be distributing XP with their machines - But not many, many Dell and Fujitsu Siemens i think. And some others.
