Microsoft confirms next XP service pack

Microsoft has revealed plans to release a third service pack for its Windows XP operating system."There will be a Service Pack 3 for Windows XP," Bernard Ourghanlian, technical and security director at Microsoft France, confirmed, revealing that Microsoft's OS is set for another major update.

Windows XP's Service Pack 2, which came out last September, deeply modified the operating system by updating its security. Windows XP SP3 will be available sometime next year--after the launch of Windows Vista, which "is the priority for the development teams," according to Microsoft France.

Microsoft has yet to reveal details about the contents of the service pack. Laurent Delaporte of Microsoft France said: "Historically, certain functions of new versions of Windows are integrated in the service packs of previous versions."

[clarky3429]

[Visentinel]

HaHa.
I aint gonna touch it for the same reasons i dont use sp2.

[Linoman]

Well I love SP2, as long as its slipstreamed into XP it works great. Well for me anyway

[RedInferno]

Why don't you use SP2? You can't say the patches aren't good for your computer.

[clarky3429]

for one it slows it down, and a lot of hardware is not supported for it, i think SP1 works fine

[Visentinel]

i dont use sp2 coz it adds crap i dont want.
i love xp sp1

And i can still patch using AutoPatcher Xp

i'm board of Service Packs. They seem not to do what they used to do (add features). Now, all they consist of now are security fixes, already out.

[stevenaxe]

well thats because you can add features seperately...i wonder if in sp3 they'll include all the things they decided to ship seperately from vista

[RedInferno]

That would be doing me a favor, LOL
