Windows XP Service Pack 3 goes GOLD

From what I recall from the 1990s and NT, SP3’s the charm it seems… From Foul Writers World | Windows XP Service Pack 3 goes GOLD:

Earlier today Microsoft confirmed that the source code has been released to manufacturers for testing and implementation.

It has been almost 4 years in the making, and Microsoft has taken their time to ensure that end users don’t have the same problems as the previous SP.

Testing for the SP has revealed a streamlined and greatly reduced install process. A big improvement on the install process comes in the form that the actual download package is a lot smaller than the previous SP and installation took a measly 15 minutes.

I’ll be checking it out this week. It’s supposed to have some cool security updates.
