Windows Vista is XP SP3

-gosh

Just to play Devil's advocate...

SP3 for XP was needed well before Vista was even released. Considering the life-span of XP as Microsoft's longest running premier OS, to not continue to provide support would be criminal. It has been (almost) 3 years since the release of SP2, and prior to XP a 3 year benchmark would indicate time between OS releases, not service pack support periods. SP2 provided much needed stability to XP, but the number of hotfixes and software updates since Aug of 2004 is staggering, and a service pack, even if nothing more than an update roll-out is way overdue.

Thank goodness for RyanVM's post sp2 update pack! I'm sure the effort put into it is great, and it has saved me countless hours on microsoft update site.
