Windows XP SP3 RTM Available on Windows Update, Automatic Update and Download Center
Microsoft has released the much awaited XP SP3 RTM on Automatic Update and Download Center today. The SP3 RTM was delayed due to a bug in Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS).
Although its available on Automatic Updates, ppl who want to download the standalone package can use following official links to download SP3:
Windows XP SP3 EXE File
Windows XP SP3 ISO File
Windows XP SP3 Network Installation Package

Re: Windows XP SP3 RTM Available on Windows Update, Automatic Update and Download Cen
@dominator
Please look at the sp3 overview pdf released by microsoft downloads.
@debsuvra
I think you can, I'm not sure, I just downloaded the exe, I'll try to integrate with my SP2 ISO.
@Dhruv11
ISO is for people who need to slipstream it, I guess, I'm not sure. You can do it with even the EXE, dunno, maybe its compressed?

If the ISO is already slipstreamed then MS is offering a new complete Windows XP SP3 installation disk via Download Center ? I doubt that.

Re: Windows XP SP3 RTM Available on Windows Update, Automatic Update and Download Cen
To clear all your doubts!
EXE and ISO both contains only SP3 not the full OS. The size of ISO file is more than EXE because it contains a few other things like .NET Framework, installation wizard images, support directory, etc.

On the download page it says it is for IT developers, so then what do i download.
This installation package is intended for IT professionals and developers downloading to a machine intending to debug or develop software on Windows XP Service Pack 3.
