- 21 de abril de 2008: SP3 disponível para fabricantes de licenciamento em volume (RTM), no Microsoft Connect, MSDN e assinantes TechNet;
- 29 de abril de 2008: Microsoft Update, Windows Update e Download Center (mas sem confirmação se será em todas as linguagens);
- 10 de junho de 2008: Atualizações Automáticas (???).
Hoje, num post no TechNet, Chris Keroack (diretor de lançamentos?) anunciou...
Today we are happy to announce that Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) has released to manufacturing (RTM). Windows XP SP3 bits are now working their way through our manufacturing channels to be available to OEM and Enterprise customers.
We are also in the final stages of preparing for release to the web (i.e. you!) on April 29th, via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center. Online documentation for Windows XP SP3, such as Microsoft Knowledge Base articles and the Microsoft TechNet Windows XP TechCenter, will be updated then. For customers who use Windows XP at home, Windows XP SP3 Automatic Update distribution for users at home will begin in early summer.
Ou seja, é quase certeza que o SP3 será liberado na próxima terça!
