Windows XP SP3 Is Now RTM.


Recommended Posts

The link in the OP doesnt work anymore, just FYI. Works now.

And once again, unless someone can post a CREDIBLE source (beta members don't count sorry :p), then SP3 is NOT RTM.

FYI your claim has already been established, just FYI.

Why should it be leaked? It's meant for general consumption, the question is... When will Microsoft offer SP3 for download.

Well if its the case that its finished it might get leaked say a week or 2 before its meant to released to the manufacturers

i personally cant wait, im using an old installation atm, as soon as sp3 comes i'll be slipstreaming and using it right away

Hey, I Could Have Chosen 2 Post This In The Normal Place That I Post Microsoft News Like This Which Is Either Microsoft.Public.Windows.Vista.General And/Or Microsoft.Public.Windowsxp.General, Instead I Decided 2 Post This Here, But Seeing How I Am Getting Some Negative Replies 2 This Post, I Guess That Was A Big Mistake, As Some People Are Trying 2 Accuse Me Of Posting An April Fools Joke, Just FYI. Thanks A Lot, Just FYI.

FYSAH. LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Heres the offical Download Link

Its legit, im thinking its going to be here proberly,

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

Doubtful. Every download has a unique ID associated with them. The binaries won't be appended to that page; that's purely for the overview documents.

Sorry, that is a bad habit of mine that I picked up while posting in microsoft.public.windows.vista.general, and it is very difficult 4 me to change, just fyi.

I'm curious where from, I was a Windows Shell MVP between 2003 and 2007 posting in the W2K, XP and Vista groups fairly regularly. I'm pretty sure that wasn't usual behaviour and that the usenet police would be trying to beat you to death with sticks for that over there.

lol probably a very good aprils fools. :D

FYI, i like bacon and eggs. Just FYI.

FYI, I like turtles. Just FYI.

Why are some people so eager to obtain SP3 before everyone else? Is this another epeen phenomena?

Please stop posting download links that aren't even real. I know it our duty to want the latest and greatest SP from M$ but ya know we can wait for it. It will eventually be released and we will all have it. This should never have been posted yet again till the final release is out and ready for download.

Maybe you could change it to "Just FYI..."

We have all been saying that since he posted it. It is not RTM because there is no official release of it. Plus he couldn't even provide a download link. He could provide an informational website that could have been updated 3 years ago. So this thread should have never been started to begin with. He even had Bink referring to him saying that it has been released when in fact it really has not. Stop providing the informational links and just wait till it has actually been released to download. M$ will make an official announcement I am sure.

You may want to read this Tech ARP article on when WinXP SP3 will be officially released:

http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=521

2nd half of April 2008 is the earliest possibility. Perhaps on the week of April 20-26. The folks at Tech ARP know their stuff and their predictions of the Vista SP1 final release have been accurate.

    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.

    • There really isn't anything magical about the low latency profile, other OS's do this as well. All they're doing is using your CPUs boost clock options in a more smarter way.
