Get your Win XP SP3 on April 29th!!!!

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Due Out Next Week - Yahoo! News: "The last service pack for Microsoft Windows XP was released almost four years ago. In the meantime, engineers in Redmond were busy on a little project called Vista. Now that Vista has been out the door for a year, Microsoft has finished up Service Pack 3 for Windows XP and released it to manufacture. The new release will be available for public download next Tuesday, April 29.

'Windows XP SP3 bits are now working their way through our manufacturing channels to be available to OEM and enterprise customers,' Chris Keroack, release manager for Windows serviceability, posted to Microsoft's TechNet forum. 'We are also in the final stages of preparing for release to the Web (i.e. you!) on April 29th, via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center.'

SP3 will be distributed to home users via Automatic Update in early June, the company said. Online documentation for Windows XP SP3 will be updated next week.

The new service pack is a 70MB download to update Window XP and can be installed on top of either SP1 or SP2. It doesn't work with the 64-bit version of XP, however."
