SP3 Final
Windows XP SP3 goes RTM next Monday

Internal schedule has it on Windows Update April 29


Quote:
April 15, 2008 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. will release Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) to computer makers and some IT professionals next week, and it will offer it to all users via Windows Update April 29, two weeks from today, according to an internal schedule obtained by the Neowin.net Web site.

Although others had previously pegged SP3's release to the last half of April, Neowin's dates are the most specific seen so far.

According to the site, the service pack will debut April 21, when it's shipped to computer manufacturers, offered to volume licensing customers and posted for download on TechNet and the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), which are subscription services for IT staff and developers, respectively.

Most users, however, will first be able to obtain SP3 on April 29, when Microsoft lists it on Windows Update (WU) for download.

However, Microsoft won't turn on the automatic download and installation of SP3 until June 10, according to Neowin. "This delay should give system administrators an ample amount of time to prepare for the upgrade or simply come up with an excuse for when things go awry," said Neowin.
