XP SP3 delayed by retailer glitch
Early birds may get a worm
Wednesday, 30 April 2008, 10:56
MICROSOFT has pulled the plug on the expected release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 because of a glitch in the way it works with MS Retail Management Systems (RMS).
Anyone who jumped the gun and downloaded the update from any one of the non-official sources bouncing around the Wibble for the last couple of days should think twice before hitting the install button.
Volish minions won't say when a proper version of the update will be available, but it won't be pushed out through normal channels until Redmond has worked out how to filter downloads from RMS customers. ยต

Between Secret CodeWords that Thomas Stewart Has Trained My Photogamatometry eyebrainer to scan I see fact that Microsoft in liberal way of allowing anyone whom promotes their code to get away with anything,(Microvole gets data, EG YOU) Had Intentional BAD Build on SP3, Worse Continues to give it out.

If You Want your entire XP Partition to literally Disappear, Try it, maybe it's work for you, yet even theINQ stated its NO good as far back as SP3Beta.

Retailers:Code name for ComPuTer bUSterS. Found Glitch in armour of establish Home User, Intentionally Breaking Your Old XP, NOw Your So Happy With It.

Its THOMAS STEWARTS fault more than just retailers, as Microvole continues Rube.

Really though only business users are gonna be affected (and even then its not gonna be a massive number compared to the number of people who would use it), the final version of SP3 is not gonna change, they'll just bring out a patch for people that use the MS RMS.
I can almost bet MS has done it's sneakest best to make XP SP3 suck so you will want there Millennium II instead. The will hid it in the encrypted code no one can see except for the evil Vole scientist in their laboratory of evil working alongside the FEDS. The trick is making it suck while making sure no one can pinpoint the exact reason.
You bet money on it

There is an official MS link floating around for the SP. It clocks in around 313 MB IIRC.

See, they not really do quality job and earn billion dollar from us. they not doing good job on Vista then why they not serious on business and mess up many thing. They said We have been successful with Vista, ppttt! I smell Bull here, I read many bad news about their job. Now how can I trust'em? we have to be more careful with their update or we screw up and waste time to fix the problem and they laugh at us like a experiment lab rat. See that's why they drop down the price on Vista, now you get the hint. Wink.......
Anyone care to translate the bullsh*t jibberish that Thomas Stewart drashek wrote into something resembling English?
I say old boy, do you suppose you might consider re-coding your comments so we might actually understand them?

Really now, you seem to have a masterful message, I just can't fathom it.
Did SP3 for XP brick your system?
No problem, try our bug-free and super-fast Vista!



I downloaded and Installed XPsp3 Version 3264 a few months ago and its doing great...and this is on a gaming Desktop....games like Crysis...Medal Of Honor Airborne play great with all the game settings , set on high. I havent had any driver or software problems.

If I had it to do all over I would probably wait for the final release just because I dont like to really install Beta's.....thats why I havent installed it on my gaming laptop yet....but I cant say anything bad about it on my desktop
So, perhaps we should now get into the habit of waiting for the first "sub-service pack" of a new major service pack?
