Windows XP SP3 Release Dates
"With Service Pack 3 for Windows XP just over the horizon, we've managed to get our hands on the internal schedule for the release of the highly anticipated update to the aging operating system. As you can see in the list below, most of the stages will occur before the end of the month, though forced automatic updates won't land until June. 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."
- April 14, 2008: Support is available for the release version of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP
- April 21, 2008: Original Equipment Manufacturers, Volume License, Connect, and MSDN and TechNet subscribers
- April 29, 2008: Microsoft Update, Windows Update, Download Center
- June 10, 2008: Automatic Updates

Re: Windows XP SP3 Release Dates
Why in the world would you have support for something a week before its release? Support for the RC versions?

Re: Windows XP SP3 Release Dates
Just curious any of you gonna disable automatic updates after SP3 (since it's the last SP)?
Better than having hotfixes, if you ask me...
Re: Windows XP SP3 Release Dates
Got lazy installed SP3 Rc instead of downloading 90+ updates....Well lets just say a few days later windows would not boot..partition screwed up ,mbr screwed up...easier to format and start all over...This guy will be waiting for awhile before installing sp3 again...
Re: Windows XP SP3 Release Dates
Of course earlier versions appear on the internet before. First off you have RTM releases, which spring up early.
SERVICE PACK 3 GO!
