PC General: Windows XP SP3 released to manufacturing

Final update for Windows XP released to manufacturing

Windows XP SP3 includes all previously released updates for the operating system, as well as a small number of new additions that should not significantly change the Windows XP experience. Windows XP SP3 will be released to the web (RTW) on April 29, 2008, and Automatic Update distribution for users at home will begin in early summer. For customers deploying Windows Vista, enhancements to Windows XP SP3 (such as Network Access Protection or NAP) will make it easier to co-manage Windows XP and Windows Vista within the same corporate environment.
