Windows XP SP3 released to manufacturing
Monday April 21, 2008
Microsoft announced today that Windows XP Service Pack 3 is complete and has been released to manufacturing. By April 29, Microsoft expects XP SP3 to be available online via Windows Update. Automatic Updates will begin delivering SP3 to computers in about two months (ie, 'early summer' according to the TechNet post where Microsoft made the announcement.)
Since XP SP3 is a collection of previously-released updates, you won't notice many changes after installing it. However, collecting the updates into one service pack makes it easier to setup new XP systems.

I’d like to point out that XP SP3 includes some Vista speed features backported to XP, making the system faster. I’ve noticed a huge increase in performance on my low-end machines.
My question is what happens if we already of the updates installed? Will they be duplicated or will the whole thing become cleaner and more efficient.?
What about IE7 and IE8 beta with windows XP pro sp3 ?
Thank you for your great efforts.
I installed SP3 but it crashed my system. Did anyone els have the same problem? And how do I fix it
Hi webmaster!
DJ, I had the same problem. Just load with safe mode then use system restore to return to your previous configuration.
They installed it for me but I see absolutly no difference
