XP SP3 to reach most users ’shortly,’ says Microsoft
Posted on July 7th, 2008 at 5:34 pmJuly 7, 2008 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. today said that it would begin pushing Windows XP Service Pack 3 to most users “shortly.”
The announcement, made by Nick MacKechnie, a senior manager for Microsoft’s New Zealand operations, was not unexpected, since the company had previously said that it would release Windows XP SP3 to Automatic Updates sometime in the “early summer.”
“We would like to remind you that Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) will be released to Automatic Updates shortly,” said MacKechnie in a post to a company blog Monday.
Individuals or companies that want to block the automatic deployment of Windows XP SP3 can download and use the Windows Service Pack Blocker Tool Kit, which provides the means for stopping the service pack from reaching client PCs through April 2009.
