Microsoft tool blocks Windows XP SP3 update
InformationWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft is reminding Windows XP users that do not wish to receive the latest service pack for the operating system that they can download a tool to prevent it from installing automatically.
A Microsoft official on Monday said that the company will soon release Windows XP SP3 through its Automated Updates service, but added that users of the service who do not want XP SP3 -- which has caused problems on some systems -- can download and deploy the Windows Service Pack Blocker Kit.
