| 665565 | 2008-05-03 23:05:00 | Hi all is XP sp3 available for general download yet? I can't find it on the windows website so I guessing it's not. |

| 665566 | 2008-05-04 00:00:00 | Nope, it was delayed again... From CNet: ...there is a “compatibility issue” between the XP service pack and Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System, a retail chain management program for small and midsize businesses. Microsoft finalized the code for Windows XP SP3 last week and had planned to make it broadly available starting Tuesday. “In order to make sure customers have the best possible experience, we have decided to delay releasing Windows XP SP3 to Windows Update and Microsoft Download Center,” the company said in a statement. The glitch also exists between Microsoft Dynamics RMS and Windows Vista Service Pack 1, though that product has already been broadly released. Microsoft started pushing out Vista SP1 last week via Automatic Updates. “To help protect our customers, we plan to put filtering in place shortly to prevent Windows Update from offering both service packs to systems running Microsoft Dynamics RMS,” Microsoft said. “Once filtering is in place, we expect to release Windows XP SP3 to Windows Update and Download Center.” Microsoft advised those running Microsoft Dynamics RMS to not install either service pack. The company said a “fix is currently in testing and will be available as soon as that process is complete.” |

| 665568 | 2008-05-04 00:22:00 | Thanks thought that was the case but not 100% sure, will wait for the final release as have 4 machines to install it on and want to save the installation for future use too. :thanks |

| 665569 | 2008-05-04 23:10:00 | RTM means its final, so it's not going to change between now & when it gets released. There is no harm in downloading it now to test it out. |

| 665570 | 2008-05-04 23:37:00 | Yea and when they fix the problem with the Dynamics RMS they will need to release SP1 for XP SP3 :banana | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 665571 | 2008-05-05 04:53:00 | Service packs for a service pack... :illogical they would just release a small update (or XP SP3a) ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 665572 | 2008-05-05 04:55:00 | Oh dear. Maybe it will be SP3SE. | trinsic (6945) | ||
| 665573 | 2008-05-05 07:22:00 | Hi all is XP sp3 available for general download yet? I can't find it on the windows website so I guessing it's not. Certainly is. I've deployed it to several of the workstations in my office. I've been deploying it to all new PC's to save having to apply so many update packs no problems so far. |
