I’ve heard that XP SP3 will be released next week ??? I deinstalled SP3 RC without any problems 
I read yesterday that SP3 will be delayed up to end of April.
Typical Mircosoft >:(
I’ve been running SP3 for a long time, haven’t noticed any bugs with avast. What makes me curious though, is whenever I installed the latest SP3 it didn’t ask me to validate Windows, before or after, and when I upgraded Vista to SP1 same thing, no validation required ???
Also one big feature of SP3 is being able to install without a product key if you choose to install without using a product key, you will get 30 days to activate, similar to Vista.
Won’t the SP3 beta require a uninstall to install the gold version?
By the way, doesn’t Vista SP1 beta need to be uninstalled before the final version installation?
Yeah, this link says it is pushed back to the second half of April.
Yes I believe SP3 beta users will need to uninstall the beta before upgrading to the final SP3.
I believe the same thing applies for the Vista SP1 beta (although I didn’t test the Vista SP1 beta so I’m not positive, and I’m glad I didn’t, I heard it was a mess for some testers).
Thanks Justin. I’m not testing SP beta neither in XP nor in Vista…
