Final week, I posted that I was hearing the last release of Windows XP Company Pack (SP) 3 was because of imminently. This week;s update: I have no thought when XP SP3 is coming.Microsoft has taken care of for the past couple of months that it could release XP SP3 inside the first half of calendar 2008. Business officials repeatedly declined to give extra granular particulars (at least not publicly).CRN reported late last week that the release notes about the 5503 build of XP SP3 that slipped out onto torrents per week ago said that Microsoft was targeting nowadays, March 24,
Office 2010 Product Key, to release the last SP3.But over the weekend, the date sleuths over at the TechArp website said that Microsoft had delayed its release date for SP3 to a while within the 2nd fifty percent of April (at least for English,
Office 2010 Download, French, German,
Office 2007 Product Key, Japanese,
Office 2010 Key, Korean, Spanish and Simplified Chinese users). SP3 in other languages would get one more 3 weeks over and above the initial release date, TechArp stated. (Thanks to Bink.nu for any pointer to the most recent XP SP3 update from TechArp.)That;s all I am aware, at this point. I don;t have any extra information and facts on whether there might be any far more public or private test releases of XP SP3 coming or why it is not shipping sooner.Some Microsoft watchers (which includes yours genuinely) have speculated that Microsoft hasn;t been hustling to refresh XP because which will give users wary of Windows Vista one much more cause to declare that XP is excellent sufficient and Vista is unnecessary. But Microsoft also is adding some new performance to XP SP3 (like Network Access Protection support) the business seemingly would need to get available to ensure that XP may be a much better consumer for Windows Server 2008.Everyone else have any new information on SP3;s whereabouts? Chime in,
Office 2010, if so.
