[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 509866, member: 259515"] [URL="http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/pc/windows-xp-sp3-dated-319357"]As expected[/URL], Windows XP service pack 3 has been released to manufacturers, with Microsoft confirming that the update will be available to the general public online from April 29. The arrival of SP3 has already been widely leaked, but Microsoft is yet to firm up the date in which the update will be rolled out to those who use auto-updates rather than manually downloading the patch. [B]Summer lovin'[/B] Currently this is still slated as ‘early summer’ with a June date widely anticipated. SP3 will bring a whole host of updates and patches – many of which are already available as separate patches. [B]SP3 RTM ok?[/B] [URL="http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3214173&SiteID=17"]Posting on the official forum[/URL], Chris Keroak - the Release Manager of SO3 said; "...we are happy to announce that Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) has released to manufacturing (RTM).

"For customers who use Windows XP at home, Windows XP SP3 Automatic Update distribution for users at home will begin in early summer."* [B]Interesting times[/B] It is another chapter to an interesting few weeks for XP – not least because of the continued speculation that its continued popularity has earned it a stay of execution.
