Windows XP SP3 Is Availabe for Download for Everybody

This time Microsoft acted to its promise and from today Windows XP SP3 is available or download via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center means everybody from everywhere can download it now.

Daily tech reported:

“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,” said Keroack last Monday. “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.”

Windows XP SP3 is offering 1,100 hotfixes/patches and new features like Network Access Protection and Black Hole Router Detection.
SP3 will also give users even more incentive to stick with the venerable operating system which has soldiered on since late 2001. Many consumers and businesses have clung to the operating system despite the fact that Microsoft has heavily pushed its newer Windows Vista operating system.

Also, from earlier post we knew that Some new features introducing by SP3 include:
-support for Windows Server 2008's Network Access Protection feature,
-better black hole router detection and
-more descriptive text in some security dialog boxes

Amazingly, SP3 doesn't provide Internet Explorer 7. However, XP users can download themselves this Explorer separately.
