Windows Server 2003 SP2 Beta has started. Any word on XP SP3 Beta yet?

 

[Carey Frisch [MVP]]

No. Most likely right after the public release of Windows Vista.

Hi Sam,

Check following link:

<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/servicepacks.mspx>

it refers to Windows Service Pack Road Map. SP3 for Windows XP Professional
is currently planned for 2H 2007. This date is preliminary.

Thanks for your attention.

Added info:

You can use the SPCheck to determine the service pack level of installed
components on computers.

This article describes how to use the SPCheck.exe tool in Windows XP to
determine the service pack level of installed components on a file-by-file
basis. SPCheck is included with the Windows XP Support Tools package.

Thank you but I believe that chart shows when it is due out, not when it
will start.

I wonder if WGA will be bundled into it?

It depends on how the courts rule.

From what I have seen over the years, lawsuits against MS aren't settled in
days, weeks, or months. Years.

Yeah, but this lawsuit is about how MS screws its customers, not Apple,
Netscape or Real Player.

Hi All,

Thanks for your attention to the Windows XP SP3 but you know that, it is
product team's issue and it is should be secret for public.

thanks for understanding.

Have a good day!
