Any word when SP3 will come out?

The Scheduler problem is said to be addressed in SP3. Any idea when
that's due out?
Running scheduled tasks manually is getting to be a pain - Mike

I did read a small note in some computer magazine that the 'supposed' SP3
would not be released until Windows Vista was launched in late 2006. How
true that is, is anyones guess. Does SP3 actually exist at the moment?

No idea; just concerned that there is a known problem with XP-Home and
the scheduler and they said "fix in next patch", so I was hoping it
would be soon - Mike

There is no due date. SP3 hasn't even been offically announced, let alone a
date set for it.

Michael, other than the pc magazines, and a lot of that is mere speculation,
there is nothing being beta tested as SP3. I'm not saying that internal
testing isn't being carried out, but the 'open' beta testers haven't seen or
heard anything yet, well i haven't, anyway.
At the moment, for the Windows team, Windows Vista is more important than
service packs, so i would assume that, maybe, just after the release of
Vista would be about right for a further Windows XP patch.
