Windows XP Service Pack 3 Beta build 3180
section: download, for your questions: KezNews forum, 9.8.2007
Thanks to marct for this download of Windows XP Service Pack 3 Beta build 3180.
Bink.nu: I did a clean install of Windows XP Professional (English, 32bit, Volume License) with Service Pack 2 integrated in a Virtual Machine. After that I installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 Beta build 3180.
The SP3 executable pack is named windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe. So there we have the reserved KB article number. The size of the pack is 332 MB.
When installing is replaces and backs up 2,848 files (456 MB) to C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$
As before it also archives the SP3 itself in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
2,921 Files (552 MB)
Lucky harddisk space is not an issue these days....
After installing I noticed nothing new visually yet in the Bootscreen or UI. All I noticed was that Remote Desktop Client was updated to 6.1 and that IE6 said SP3 in aboput screen.
Of course a lot of bugfixes since SP2, I mean 2848 files are renewed, I have no wireless in the VM but I assume WPA2 support is now included and High Def Audio devices are detected without need of a hotfix.
I did a Windows Update for fun, 1 high prio update appeared, the July edition of the Malicious Software Removal Tool. 2 Optionals are .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, not .NET 3.0 ?

y is student 580mb and normal 300and somthing so if i had windoews xp pro which should i
get and which of the 2 is better ??
tell me where a real one is...
its real but its only a beta
but whats the diff between student and narmall cuse
students 200-300mbbigger
from microsoft, but it has got leaked, on installing, my .... 'student edition' product
key became invalid, so people with that key (which is almost anyone with a pirated
student/corp copy of xp) your are f-ucked unless you can find a new one.
:(
if u load that s*** don´t wonder . . . it´s just a beta so you´ll see. i tried and found
out how bad this one is. better wait for official release !
"but whats the diff between student and narmall cuse students 200-300mbbigger"
because the student version is the os with sp3 slipstreamed dude!
give us a rapidshare mirror.
after you will integrate this sp3 into any winxp home or pro all known keys will become
invalid. the only way to try it is to install it after a fresh sp2 instalation.
no issues here with keys :p
i have many, many problems after install sp3.i have legal licence xp--ie7 not exist -
broken 100% and i can't reinstal - impossibility......many extensions not
work...some(30%) service not work...my system no stability (60%) after...wait final
sp3.....
can someone upload it to rapidshare and share the mirror?
link 2 is a link to a .rar not a torrent...
btw, torrents are much better than
direct links for things over 500mb so if you don't like torrents... shut up.
its a link to a rar torrent.it is only 1 mb!!!!! read carefully next time
torrents s u c k if you have a premium rapidshare so you shut up little noob
the noob, how about you ram it up your anus cavity?
if your too scared to use
a torrent, maybe you should leave the internet.
for all the noobs who are too scared to use torrents, here is http links, although a
torrent would be much faster than downloading from rapidshare free...

this sp is nothing but a trap for illegal copies of xp sp2 users.
i've
feelings that they meant by this sp to force people to shift to vista after they locked
down their pcs or something..
i've xp pro sp2 for many years with almost (0)
problems.
why do they want to release a new sp for xp while they are trying to
attract people moving from xp to vista?
this is just to disturb users so that
they either buy xp to peace their minds or go for vista.
sp2c is for system builders and it only changes a very small thing which is how many
product keys professional uses, it will never be given to the normal computer user.
damn some people are so f-ucking stupid these days.
companies still want to use xp pro. microsoft must support their corporate accounts. so
we get sp2c (and or sp3) before all it over with. companies can buy xp loaded systems up
to the cutoff date for it.
xp still rules!!! most compatible and same time stable os of all!
if you were using microsoft windows xp media center edition 2005 activation crack by
brick, installing windows xp sp3 will disable the crack so you get 30 left to activate. if
you try this crack on one with windows xp sp3 it will say "fail".
if you are brick or anyone else, try updating the crack for windows media center edition
with sp3.
use antiwpa!
the company i work for uses volume licenses but windows xp sp3 says they are invalid. i
think microsoft isn't able to distinguish between valid and invalid serial codes of xp
pro.
is still a beta so microsoft haven't included the proper activation shit.
=\ dont install win xp sp3 its complete overflooded shit go for xp sp2, vista (no sp) or
mac or proberly ubuntu u can get free orignal ubuntu cds from shipit.ubuntu.com
i slip streamed xp home sp2 cd to sp3-beta now the xp home sp3-beta cd now fresh installs
and xp home key works. i done the same to xp pro sp2 cd to sp3-beta when fresh install xp
pro key wont work. but if you just run the sp3 setup file from windows xp pro it upgrade
but it dont have a prob with the keys
i sick off every body askng about win xp sp3 all it would be is more shit ass patget the
video card ram and run vista its much more smoother and soon every app will be made for
vista dont worry about win xp its too old (6 years to old) microsoft dont make any new
things for windows xp its crap and old so every body just move on live windows xp rip and
say hello to vista its worth getting to know it now before it all changers
i am an mcse now i dont use microsoft cos of all the shitty updates that kill ya pc why
dont ya move ta ubuntu more secure everything is free why the hell have the hassel of
pissin about with microsoft gear bets thing i did was move to ubuntu a bit of a learing
curve but what the heck at least it dont keep falling over or locin up have fun boys
daftmate:
not everyone can make the switch to ubuntu... those include
gamers,web designers and more.
i myself fall into both category's and rely on
adobe design premium cs3 and over 30gb of windows games.
id switch to linux if
there was a emulation method that worked for everything i need.
yes i have
tried cedega,wine,self built optimized wine got low fps at 1440x900 (my monitor
resolution) and adobe cs3 wont run in those either.
so before you go pushing
that everyone goes to ubuntu.. think
fyi, if you slipstream sp3 you need to replace pidgen.dll with one from sp2 before
burning your disk so you can use your sp2 cd key.
if you want nothing but problems install this blotted garbage and wreck your os
hey guys, your links either has been deleted from source or simply nonsense coz it's
been all over the web but found no returns to download.
thanx geo411m... done did the trick :)
hey billl n your..hey guys i tried to download sp3 from rapid share..but i think that
links had been deleted..could u plz paste a link to download sp3 with torrent..hey fyi..i
have never download any stuff from torrent..so plz also let me how to download that from
torrent..thanxs..reply asap..aakash4u41 at gmail.com
please .............microsoft.windows.xp.sp3.build.3180 serial number needed
thanx geo, great trick, it really works fine. thank u again.....
linux kicks but but is limited for gaming and graphics.
but is more stable less
issues for many many needs. never use windows for a web or email server. linux has a
higher and faster system. not all that garbage loaded/
sp3 is way over due. and
they need to get it out like last yr. especially for var etc. they dont even give
actionpack subscriptions a xpsp2 cd. there stuck with updating via a stupid cd or
downloading sp2.
difference between normal and student
