微软宣布SP3已经RTM 29号开始提供下载

还在翘首期待XP SP3的朋友们可能要失望了，SP3的下载暂时还是没有出现。不过来自微软Windows Serviceability的主管Chris Keroack在TechNet来表示该产品确已RTM，正在向OEM厂商和企业用户传送，但普通用户们还需要等到29号才能通过下载中心和Windows Update功能升级（当然也不排除会有内线提前泄露）。微软知识库和TechNet届时将同步更新，自动推送则会在初夏开始。

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Released to Manufacturing

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. 

Thanks to everyone here who installed the public betas – you not only gave us detailed feedback but also helped each other out with timely troubleshooting. Through the beta program we found several important issues and were able to confirm some essential fixes. We couldn’t have done this without you.

We will still be monitoring this forum during the next few weeks in case you have more feedback about the release of Windows XP SP3.

On behalf of myself, Shashank Bansal and Windows Serviceability, many thanks.
