WinXP SP3 official release date April, 29

Post by Trey »

Release to businesses April 21, according to the XP Wiki anyway:
Microsoft has announced that it plans to release Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) to businesses on April 21st, 2008 and to the general public on April 29th, 2008. SP3 will be down-loadable via the Windows Update Center. [29] A feature set overview has been posted by Microsoft[30]and details new features available separately as standalone updates to Windows XP, as well as features backported from Windows Vista, such as black hole router detection, Network Access Protection, and Windows Imaging Component.

According to a file released with the early beta version and relayed onto the Internet there are a total of 1,073 fixes in SP3.[31]

This update to Windows allows it to be installed without a product key, and be run until the end of the 30-day activation period without a product key.
So if the businesses all blow-up, we'll know it's no good. At least it allows you to install it without first producing the key...

The most funny thing is that Microsoft soon will release Windows 7. Looks like Vista is second Millenium. :lol: I feel I'll never see Vista.
