maybe we are having it at the end of 2005,i don't know anything yet about this,maybe it will never be since LONGHORN is coming.

[EduardValencia]

i hope they finally include .net framework...

.net framework 2.0 :yes:

[bakerster]

1 Million Dollars.

That could be accomplished..

[neowin_34242]

What to be included besides bug fixes......A good guess might be Longhorn technologies, like Avalon and Indigo (of course these need .NET 2.0, so .NET 2.0 framework might also be included or as a prereq). So SP3 might not have any new feature / app (since those would appear in Longhorn) but it would enable LH apps to run on XP and take avantage of LH technologies.

As long as they keep working on Longhorn, I don't care when SP 3 comes out.

you do know microsoft has more then one department not just one working on longhorn :rolleyes: ;) :pinch:

[ssvegeta384]

maybe it'll actually work the way it's supposed to. Until then I'll stick with SP1.

Is that why they pulled alot of developers off Longhorn to get SP2 finished, oh and look what happened when they did that.

That'll be cracked in < 24 hours.

I'm not too interested in Sp3... I'm waiting for Longhorn.

You guys think I should probably update to SP2 before they start making an SP3? I'll stick with SP1 atm because I really dislike SP2 addon's (firewall and some security features), I'd rather stick with zone alarm and my personal security settings.

You know, they don't make you use them. They can easily be disabled.

i agree. i think sp3 will be released sometime in 2006, which is longhorn time. they've already said they're going to incorporate indigo and avalon into xp, and this is probably when they're going to do it.
