Microsoft To Ship SP3 Of Windows XP Via Windows Update

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo @ 10:57 am

Microsoft on Monday sent out a reminder that it would distribute a new version of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP through its Automatic Update service “shortly.”

Nick MacKechnie, senior technical account manager at Microsoft New Zealand, said in a company blog post that if IT administrators wanted to prevent the automatic installation then they should download and deploy the Windows Service Pack Blocker Kit from the company’s online download center, or deploy update management software that provides full control over updates deployed to computers on a network.

    I have heard that MS will not sell XP anymore. Why do they still release service packs?

    The fact that they stopped selling XP does not mean that they stopped supporting XP. XP is still supported for at least 3 year
