Windows XP SP3 Specifics Revealed
Yesterday, October 09, 2007, | Emil Protalinski
If you have recently found yourself yelling “Down with Vista! Where’s my XP SP3?”, you’ll be happy to know Microsoft hasn’t forgotten users of its currently most popular OS. Over the last few weeks, the software giant has provided XP downgrades for unhappy Vista customers, announced that Windows XP sales would be extended to June 30, 2008, released a new build of Internet Explorer 7.0 for Windows XP that doesn't require product activation, and released a Service Pack 3 beta to a select group of testers. Vista may be the next big thing, but the gap between the two operating systems has created more problems than Microsoft would have hoped for. Thankfully, the company has decided against pushing Vista at all costs and (hold your breath MS haters) is listening to its customers.

by Snuffy - It is really well know by now that XP SP3 is backporting Vista Functions. The more you use XP SP3 the more you will see Vista like functions starting to show up, many others also are seeing this...What I am seeing leads me to see XPSP3 is a way also to BETA TEST Vista/RTM while Beta testing Vista/SP1, and when all comes out, I honestly believe XPSP3 upto Vista and Vista downto XPSP3 - which will make many ppl happy, This will close the gap between and allow for Vista to again be the main new OS, while MS will continue to work on the next new... It also seems that Vista is reverting back a little to be more like XP..

If any are using both OS's and the beta versions also... Please Feel FREE to comment on this "XPSP3 upto Vista and Vista downto XPSP3 " effect.
