Any new news you would see there as soon as anywhere.

Microsoft releases Windows XP SP3 to Windows Update and Microsoft Download Center
http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=1806
Quote:
Following last week’s delay, Microsoft finally releases Windows XP SP3 to Windows Update and Microsoft Download Center.
As to the issues last week relating to Microsoft Dynamics RMS, here’s what a Microsoft spokesperson had to say:
"Following last week’s discovery of a compatibility issue between both Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista SP1 and Microsoft Dynamics RMS, Microsoft created and deployed a filter on Windows Update that will not offer either service packs to Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers. A fix for this issue is currently in testing at Microsoft and with customers and we hope to make it publicly available this month. Until then, Microsoft is advising Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers to not install either service pack. Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers running Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP1 should contact Microsoft Customer Support Services for additional information."

Re: SP3 Final
Here are the release notes:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...1/relnotes.htm
Note that SP3 will "fix" your current version of IE so that it cannot be removed without removing SP3.
In other words IE 7 can no longer be removed without removing SP3.
The same goes for IE 8 Beta.
I would suggest removing IE 8 Beta prior to installing SP3.

Re: SP3 Final
Oops - post edited - I see the link to the self-extracting installer for SP3 is in jephrees post - I like it because you just copy it to a folder and run it. It's 316Mb so a bit smaller than the ISO version - and I think easier to handle.

Re: SP3 Final
I haven't installed SP3 yet, and on the basis of this report I might wait a while yet.

Anyone here having similar problems?

Re: SP3 Final
That's reassuring. Did you uninstall or disable firewalls, antivirus etc beforehand? Or just go straight into it?
