Windows XP SP3 Postponed Until 2008

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday October 26, 2006 @02:34AM from the wait-or-upgrade dept.

Rockgod quotes an article saying "With Microsoft now saying that its next major service pack for Windows XP will not ship until 2008, some Windows users are wondering whether the software upgrade will ever be released." and then later "Michael Cherry, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, agrees that Microsoft may very well decide to drop XP Service Pack 3. "It absolutely could happen. Microsoft is under no obligation to produce any service packs, ever," he explains. "They feel that because these fixes are available through the auto-update that there's less need to create a service pack."

Seriously, are there problems? I've not run into any in a long, long time.

Oh, no. I shouldn't have said that.
