Hi Marc57,

Think we all have to wait until June 10th 2008, or maybe somewhat later even,

Still waiting for finnish version of SP3......

To help protect customers, we plan to put filtering in place shortly to prevent Windows Update from offering both service packs to systems running Microsoft Dynamics RMS. Once filtering is in place, we expect to release Windows XP SP3 to the web.

We are also testing a fix, and will make it available once that process is complete. Once they have installed the fix, Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers should be able to run both service packs.

Until then, we advise Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers to not install either service pack. Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers running Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP1 should contact Microsoft Customer Support Services for additional information.

Unless you are a Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers, you can get the "finished" version now.  When the official finished version comes out it will block Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers from getting SP3.  The fix for Microsoft Dynamics RMS will come later.

This is the link I used to get SP3: http://techtoday.110mb.com/2008/04/28/windows-xp-sp3-now-available-via-windows-update/

This is not available when you go to the Windows update site.

Looks scary!!! I would not like to expose myself to other worms and viruses included in sp3. Why not upgrade the usual way??? That's secure via windows update!!!
