ENT News | at | by Mike
Windows XP Service Pack 3 has been released to manufacturing, according to a post on Microsoft TechNet. Current SP3 recipients include original equipment manufacturers and enterprise customers.
Next in line to get the latest update to Microsoft's venerable XP operating system will be TechNet participants, who will gain access to XP SP3 on April 29 via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center. Microsoft also plans to release online documentation on that date.
Home users of Windows XP will be able to get SP3 sometime in early summer via automatic update, according to the post. That release date likely will be June 10, according to an internal Microsoft schedule that the Neowin.net Web site claimed to have obtained. The site first broke initial rumors of the release that turned out to be true.
