SP3 is available on Windows Update this morning.

[Colin Barnhorst]

I just got my first hit on WU from one of my systems. As WU says,

"Download and install it now."

Wasn't notified, but was there when I went to Windows Updates....downloading
as we speak....

 

[John]

Yup. It's been released onto WSUS3 as well. I just manually resync'd WSUS.
SP3 is there.

I get it only on one system of my two (both XP Pro SP2) ???????

When will the redistributable or CD-image be available?

WU, not AU, Gordon. Don't expect to see it on AU until June.

That's NOT WinXP SP3. It's the Overview documentation.

It's available here, but the Download link doesn't go
anywhere, yet.

i downloaded and installed SP3 from the microsoft site and it has improved
the performance of my Dell 3 Ghz and 2048 DDR !! tremendously.
Also copied the download on removable stick disk and installed on another
computer with same pleasant results.
Did not burn to cd, just downloaded and ran after disabling anti virus and
disconnecting the internet.
Its great.
Cheers,
Farid

Yes Colin. It's even on offer here <G>. Thanks for the heads up.

For those of us that prefer a direct link:


Windows XP Service Pack 3 Checked Build 342MB

ISO:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...15/xpsp3_5512.080413-2113_usa_x86fre_spcd.iso

EXE:

[Colin Barnhorst]

Why do you want to post the checked build? That is for developers. Users
should NOT download and installed a checked build of anything.

So I discovered a few hours later. Apparently this is in contravention to:

<QP>
For customers who use Windows XP at home, Windows XP SP3 Automatic Update
distribution for users at home will begin in early summer.

Now here's the link to the actual Service Pack!:

[Colin Barnhorst]

Even with AU turned on, I believe all a user gets right now is the
notification. June is when it will automatically download and install with
AU turned on.

Could be but I'd certainly like to see that documented somewhere.
