K_O_ Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I've noticed that the Service Pack 3 files are creeping through with someupdates though so their's definately one on it's way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 We generally call updates that are released post-service pack as labeled as the next service pack's files. For instance, you can find security updates for Windows 2000 that are listed as SP5, even though there never was an SP5 (even after the post-SP4 rollup). It's nonclemature, and makes tracking patches easier (amongst other things). While I think there's likely to be an SP3 for XP in late '07 or into '08, I'm not betting the farm on it either now that Vista is RTM . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 K_O_, take a chill pill. No one is calling you a liar, try not to interpret things so harshly. It's not official from Microsoft and things can be and have been faked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 the patches since SP2 have resource dll's in them that are labeled SP3. You can check the registry for the installed date of hotfixes they are listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\Last I heard SP3 was not being released until the end of next year.

footballking3420 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Service Pack 3 won't be released at all from what I've read. It kept getting pushed back further and further. [ No, that's against the rules. ] Edited December 2, 2006 by gamehead200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggsley Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Most updated files since sp2 have been tagged as sp3 because when it is released they will be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 None of you seem to have read the entire thread.Hehehe, I was wondering why Bledd made that response when Cluberti's post was not too far up the page. It's not fake and it's explained right there. But it's not like I really needed to say that, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
