Windows XP SP 3
April 22nd, 2008 Posted in Microsoft, XPIt’s finally here, the service pack to end all service packs. No, not really but it will add some needed security enhancements. Windows XP service pack 3 will be available for download to your computer next Tuesday and available through windows update in June. The update doesn’t contain any new features that you will find in Vista (some say this is good).
Their 70 MB update contains fixes for security, compatibility and performance. Another primary enhancement is for server 2008 compliance when using PC health detection to protect your network. The service pack will be available for XP Home, XP MCE and XP Professional 32 bit versions, there is no update planned for the 64 bit versions of XP.
If you can’t wait till June you can download the “full” 580 MB service pack here on the 29th:
