Due out November 12th 2003

Sig it.
Of course, the real reason for the delay is that after SP1, XP is almost completely bug free (except for thost pesky third-party apps that keep crashing...)
The security community breathed a collective sigh of relief that there would be no new influx of security patches to patch the new service pack until late next year.

They finally understand what a buffer overflow is, and this time, they'll *really* *really* fix all of them.
Windows users will have to wait till 2004 for a new set of features that can be exploited.
