Windows XP SP3 RC Refresh (Build 3264) on Connect


section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 18.12.2007

Oh wow, Thanks Microsoft! They have just posted a refresh of Windows XP Service Pack 3.




So if you are still stuck on XP, by choice or not and you're a tester.. then it's available for download now! This build will be made publicly available soon, but there are 2 points to be aware of troopers!

1. Even though the update packages are the same as RC Refresh, it is referred to simply as Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate, to avoid confusion for people who have not tried these releases before on a private beta.
2. There will be a public forum on TechNet to support that release. If you choose to read or participate on that forum, we ask that you continue to observe your NDA regarding schedule, beta releases, bugs you've logged through the private beta program, or other information you have obtained from the beta program.

the above link has an extra space in it that must be removed then it will work. look for 124a72 0aa....take out the space before 0aa and the link should work.

nothing new

xp sp3 is nothing but a shit, i've tried it and there's nothing new or special. if you're regularly updating you windows xp then there's no need to install sp3, i'ts just a pack of updates.

there shouldnt be anything knew

By ^^^^^idiot on 19.12.2007 - 14:12
christian, why would you think there would be anything new or special? sp2 was a very different service pack from what they should be. all service packs are is updates from the last sp in case people forgot to update their pc and some performance updates, thats all. if you dont like it dont bitch to us, we dont want to hear it

There is new stuff, but not what you are expecting

By Mike on 19.12.2007 - 20:12
guys, service packs are not really just a pack of updates. if they were they would call them update packs. but sp3 enhances the security system and fixes some bugs, enhanced performance, puts some new things like the network kernal from vista.

these performance and bug fixes you can not normally find on microsoft update. cause if you could why would they wait their time to make a service pack?

you guys don't understand, what a service pack really is and that is sad. **sigh**
