Support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 ends on July 13, 2010
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean31
Support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) will end on July 13, 2010. This date was established when
Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) was released on April 21, 2008.
<snip>
Note The release of a service pack has no impact on Mainstream Support and Extended Support end dates.
Therefore, there will be no change to the previously announced end of Mainstream and Extended Support
dates for Windows XP. Windows XP will transition from the Mainstream Support phase to the Extended
Support phase on April 14, 2009, as scheduled. During the Extended Support phase for Windows XP,
Microsoft will continue to provide paid support and security updates at no additional charge. Extended
Support for Windows XP will retire on April 8, 2014.

Translation: After July 13, 2010, there will be NO Security updates for
XP SP2. If one keeps an XP SP2 system updated with Security updates then
there's no urgency in applying SP3 other than the end of support in
2010.

Personal opinion: I am going to wait for a few more hot fixes and
information to be put out. SP3 definitely makes sense; it just has an
odd problem or two to be worked out.
SP3 is basically SP2 plus the gazillion hot fixes that went with it.


HTH
 
What a stupid response. What if he/she doesn't have ZoneAlarm?
