Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Publicly Released!
Not much new stuff in there if you already have been installing all previous updates
It is also said that MS will stop supporting XP in about 6 mths time and only focus on Vista
Quote:
Windows XP SP3 includes all previously released Windows XP updates, including security updates and hotfixes, and select out-of-band releases. For example, the service pack includes functionality previously released as updates, such as the Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) 3.0 and the Microsoft Core XML Services 6.0 (MSXML6).
Microsoft is not adding significant functionality from newer versions of Windows, such as Windows Vista, to Windows XP through XP SP3. For instance, Windows XP SP3 does not include Windows Internet Explorer 7, although Windows XP SP3 does include updates to both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7, and it will update whichever version is installed on the computer. One notable exception is that, SP3 does include Network Access Protection (NAP) to help organizations that use Windows XP to take advantage of new features in the Windows Server® 2008 operating system.

Probably Yes, But they will keep on developing the vista one. I heard that soon they will be releasing Windows Vista SP1.

Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Publicly Released!
When SP3 is finished, there will be a noticeably performance improvement; this is an unfinished release candidate version. Support for XP will be dropped, but who cares? As long as what I'm using isn't Vista I'm satisfied!

Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Publicly Released!
I agree with Spartan Erik. As long as XP keeps working, I'll stay with it. Anything to stop switching to Vista.

Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Publicly Released!
350mb . . . guess I won't be downloading it anytime soon, lol. But is it just me, or are they cutting XP support early?

Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Publicly Released!
Meh. I'm using Vista Ultimate 32 bit atm. No issues with gaming or any of the work I need done. My only problem is with the current nVidia drivers.

Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Publicly Released!
I believe you are right; it is being cut early, from what I heard anyway.
