I'm a TechNet or MSDN subscriber and I can't get SP3 today? Apparently not. Starting then, you'll be able to update by calling up WU, then selecting the download.įor several weeks, SP3 will be optional, just like Windows Vista SP1, which still hasn't come out of its manual WU mode. So, when do I get SP3? Microsoft said it would put SP3 on Windows Update (WU) on April 29. "Windows XP SP3 bits are now working their way through our manufacturing channels to be available to OEM and Enterprise customers." "SP3 has released to manufacturing," said Chris Keroack, XP SP3's release manager, in a message posted on a TechNet support forum.


Microsoft said that it is shipping the code to computer makers and making it available to volume licensing customers. Can I get Windows XP SP3 today? Depends on who you are.
