Windows XP SP3

calendar Posted on May 6, 2008   comments 4 Comments

I just noticed that Windows XP Service Pack 3 is available from Windows Update — or you can download it directly.

I build a lot of machines for both home and work and I’m very excited to finally see this.  No more 95 or so patches after an XP SP2 install!

Now I’m off to check the MS licensing site to see if there’s a volume license iso with it integrated yet. :-)

    Thats not the SP itself, just an overview of it. I expect we’ll see the fullfile download in the next 2-3 days though.

    Oh, my apologies. I’ll get a proper link.

    I got SP3 from Windows Update this afternoon on a freshly installed XP box, so I know it’s out there :-)

    Here’s a real SP3 link. Sorry ’bout that wrong one in the post.

    Chris, I haven’t noticed if Technet has an SP3-enabled iso available yet, but I just built my own using Slipstreamer. There are a number of good and easy slipstreaming apps out there if you need one before a prebuilt iso is available.

    I too am immensely thankful SP3 is out and usable - I had 28 machines needed proper patching and updating (don’t ask) so was much relieved to be able to do them in one pass. No problem with the update on any of the machines.

    Paul
