SP3 ?

[- Bobb -]

There are so many updates in the past few months ... can someone tell me ...
is there a cetain point where they just call it " SP3" rather than SP2 and
60 updates ? It's getting tough to keep up with them all and would be nice
if they'd just pick a point in time - say Sept 1, 2006 ( a little old to
know that " I already have all those and no issues) and then would be easier
to track when in add/remove I'd just see SP2 and the latest.

Wrong. SP3 will be out late next year. Windows Vista is called the End
of Microsoft.

Late NEXT year ?
BTW I am testing Vista (and NAV2007) and I just restored a disk image from
June 06. I have it set to " Notify but do not install". For XP I had 33
updates to install. That's in addition to those already on there. 33 since
June. So by " late next year" it should be up to 200 'updates' to SP2 ?? and
that's not even me looking at the optional ones.

Is there a site where all of the XP-SP2 fixes & updates are available?
I'm planning to purchase a new system and want to start clean & would
like to find a site where I can download all the updates, put them on
a dvd to install them without having to go through the update site.
