Microsoft Windows XP SP3

Hi guys,

When we'll see this thing at last ? Anybody knows ?

Thanks

 

I dont know much about it, but i heard it will be good

 

Isn't it already out? I've seen some torrents for it.

 

I think its just the beta versions, the full sp3 is not out yet

 

Knowing them it could be a while

 

I've downloaded it from Microsoft. I didn't see any big change. Everything's the same, but my PC is now upgraded to SP3 (I can see it in System Info).

 

SP3 RC1 was released not that long ago.
SP3 Final is coming in April-May if I'm not mistaken.

 

That sounds about right. I have even tried it yet. THere's something about a beta or RC version of a "service pack" that doesn't seem right to me. I don't think it's going to be much more than a security rollup with all the patches that have been released since SP2.

I could be wrong...

 

Ok, thanks for the replies.

As for beta and rc and similar ...really don't want. Waiting for release. They said sometimes it will be February.

 

I'm going to install SP3 and hold off on vista for as long as possible.

 

i dont think there will be much changes in SP3, just sp2 with all updates as someone said earlier here microsoft must be disappointed that noone buys their super new software called VISTA, such a crap, will squeeze the last drop of sweat out of your cpu!!

 

Personally I do care about compatibility issues a lot regarding Vista, not it's slow work, troughing money on new PC is something I want to do know.

 

My Vista works really fast, you guys must have really low end machines...

 

Vista works really fast on my machine too but XP runs faster.

 

I love using XP
I don't like Vista that much tho.

 

all i have heard that sp3 will make xp better that vista.

But they said that they will release sp3 after they release sp1 for vista

 

wow you guys are right.. xp is better than vista; that's why there still issuing fixes for 7 year old software.

 

vista is too bad in performance when being used in normal pc's

 

i do not think. Microsoft released Vista. If they release sp3 they will have huge loss from vista. They will stop in summer xp.

 

They released it to 10,000 beta testers last December i think.

No doubt it will contain more DRM locks..
