Microsoft delays the release of SP3 for Windows XP

by MarkFlax Moderator - 4/29/08 2:12 PM

due to a compatibility issue with a Microsoft application — Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS).

Vista's SP1 is also delayed.

Full story here;

If you are offered SP3 from any download other than Microsoft's Windows Update or Microsoft's Download Center do not download it.

from Download.com, then the only one available is the pre-release version;
Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate 2

It's for testing purposes only.

Effective today, the distribution of XP SP1 (and Vista SP1) has resumed, with a blocking patch in place for those running Dynamic RMS.
