The editorial has just been updated!

After we broke the stories on the release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and the planned RTM schedule of Windows XP SP3, we have now managed to obtain the confirmed release schedule of Windows XP Service Pack 3!

This is the news that all loyal Windows XP users have been waiting for. Here are the full details...

Here's a quote from the editorial :-

Quote:

"Microsoft clarified that there will not be any integrated SP3 release for Windows XP Media Center Edition or Windows XP Tablet Edition. That means you won't be able to buy or obtain a complete Windows XP Media Center Edition / Tablet Edition SP3 CD. In addition, users of Windows XP Media Center Edition or Windows XP Tablet Edition will only be able to update to Service Pack 3 through Windows Update.

Although Microsoft has delayed deployment of Service Pack 3 via Windows Update, you can directly download Service Pack 3."

DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download is now available on Windows Update.

It would work I guess but to DL off of Windows update you need to use IE6 or higher

Anyhew SP3 installed and running fine Cheers on the link acedriver
