Windows XP SP3

@tpro1. Thanks for the link but it's totally Greek to me. And as for the others, I found out the same result about the incompatibility issues, so it will not be released on the 29th. As far as I know, it will be released via Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update on May 2, 2008.:cowboy:
 
Hahas, ndmmxiaomayi, I'm dying by waiting for SP3 so long. Basically the main idea of SP3, would be to make your computer run faster. And faster boot it. It won't be as an impact as SP2 for Windows XP OS. :cowboy:
 
*sigh* After reading Wikipedia's issue about Windows XP, I looked at the section about SP3. Sad to realize that SP3 will be delivered on June 10... not May nor April.
 
On the good side, at least I know it won't get to crash my PC (I hope so...). I killed one of them while testing the RC release. :red:
 
Crashed. Oof. Did you attempt to reformat it? A computer costs a lot to me. Lols, I browsed WalMart several months ago and they were offering a Windows XP with Intel Duo Core for only $300. I was tempted, but I decided I liked my old XP OS. I planned to purchase Vista Home Premium during the Summer, but the stories about how the Vista updates crashed or killed the computer just made me stick to my XP. I do not plan to purchase Vista maybe until next year. >;P
 
Whee!!! I updated.

Update went fine for all 3 XP test and production machines. :cowboy:

I'm very satisfied. :cool:
 
Yes, I've read about the IE issues. I have IE 7 and installed SP3 on a VAIO and I worked fine. However, I just had to download the update during several attempts because the first and second it hanged and then later told me that SP3 was NOT Installed. I downloaded it again after several hours, assuming the update servers were full or "jammed".
 
SP3 works for me

been using SP3 since April 9, with IE7, zero defects.

FF is my main browser, but I use IE for MS Updates, Bank (IT jerks use IE "shortcuts"). and Fed Agencies (same issue as Bank)
 
Installed here and working fine. Then I read about installation issues.:oops: However, still going well but no speed differences over SP2.
 
wouldn't any performance differences - essentially SP3 is nothing more than all the changes since SP2 rolled up into single package.
