Microsoft has revealed plans to release a third service pack for its Windows
XP operating system.

"There will be a Service Pack 3 for Windows XP," Bernard Ourghanlian,
technical and security director at Microsoft France, confirmed, revealing
that Microsoft's OS is set for another major update.

Windows XP's Service Pack 2, which came out last September, deeply modified
the operating system by updating its security.

Windows XP SP3 will be available sometime next year--after the launch of
Windows Vista, which "is the priority for the development teams," according
to Microsoft France.

Microsoft has yet to reveal details about the contents of the service pack.
Laurent Delaporte of Microsoft France said: "Historically, certain functions
of new versions of Windows are integrated in the service packs of previous
versions."

I bet the administrative EXE version will be 300 ~ 330MB !

About time! With all the security issues that XP has, MS needed to wise up!

I hope the Automatic Update for Service Pack 3 goes smoother than
it did for SP2. So many problems, I eventually gave up and got the CD-ROM
at Circuit City.

Call me psychedelic!

MS's announcement is along the lines I predicted, post-AnalVistula RTM.
Though I'd say its still a 50/50 chance between XP SP3 being released in
4th quarter of 2006 or the 1st quarter of 2007.

I think it will come out after Windows 2000 SP5.

All indications are that there will be no SP5 for Win2K. Maybe another security rollout and
that's it.

And the SP3 & SP5 will require the "genuine" windows trojan/spyware before being
able to download or update?
