Default Windows XP SP3 now available via Windows Update(and download)

Windows XP SP3 is finally here for those that use Windows Update, and here is a direct link to the stand-alone version of SP3 for x86 XP systems (32 bit). Thanks Bink! Neowin reader WindowsNT says: "There won't be a 64bit version until Windows Server 2003 hits SP3 since they share the same code base."

Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released updates for the operating system. This update also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system. This white paper summarizes what is new in Windows XP SP3.

Download: Stand-alone installer for Windows XP SP3 English, 32 Bit (316 MB)
Link: Service Pack 3 for Windows XP via Windows Update (Size varies)

Source : Neowin

Personally, just updated to sp3 and i can feel a minor speed improvement.update ran without any problems though...

DirectX 10 is a Windows Vista only feature, so there are no chance for including it on Win XP

Here, It has got something to do with Microsoft Dynamics. They have also stopped distribution of Vista SP1.

SP3 has been taken back by MS. Some glitch with Retail Management System, whatever it is. More here: http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquir...dition-delayed
