Default What's the word on SP3 for XP?

I suppose this has been talked about and forgotten already. I was wondering if SP3 for XP is worth anything yet. Last I had heard about it was that there was a "beta" version of SP3, and that it was probably buggy and not worthwhile. Has that changed?

The beta is still the only avalable and apparently its not that buggy, but doesnt do much.

It is expected out sometime this month (April) was the last official word I heard. i have it on an older computer here and it does seem to help older machines but not much difference on newer systems.







Thanks HL and Corsair!

Hmm. Thanks. I guess I'll go with it when I reformat as it contains all the previous updates (supposedly). Until the, I guess I'll stick with sp2.

Yep, it is still in the "RC" state. But there was a recent release of the RC version. It is real handy when you do a fresh install, you can download the RC and install it right after doing a fresh windows install, and it really cuts down on the time spent waiting for all of the critical downloads

Here is the link to the download:

Download details: Windows XP SP3 RC2 Refresh
