XP SP3 FINALLY RELEASED
Windows XP's final service pack has finally been released. After encountering a final delay that doesn't involve you and me (unless you own a Windows embedded cash register), the much anticipated update is yours to download.
Because the bug is not likely to affect most users, the service pack had already been available for download previously from Softpedia and other download sites with the appropriate warning. Suspicions were raised that Microsoft sought to delay the release one more time so as to force Windows users to consider upgrading to Vista, but that was apparently only idle speculation.
For many users, this will be the last version of XP, maybe even of Windows, that they will use.
