WinXP SP3 to be canceled
Seems the most likely to me. They will want everyone to switch to vista
I hope not cause most computers that people own can't even come close to running it.WinXP SP3 to be canceled
Seems the most likely to me. They will want everyone to switch to vista
P.S. - Lets hope Microsoft doesn't make us install IE7
I don't think they will cancel it but it will probably be the last one.
Oh and I'm sure IE7 will be a part of SP3 since after all it is a security update.
2008 is a long wait in my opinion but like the article stated MS isn't obligated to offer SP3 if they don't want to due to the updates already being available via Windows Updates and Automatic Updates.
I'm however in the next few days going to download all those free .ISO's MS is offering of previous updates and make a few DVD's containing them, that way I'm not re-downloading all those updates again in years to come but mostly if MS ever removes the ability to update WinXP online.
Doesn't it seem like XP will be towards the end of it's product life cycle by 2008? I haven't looked at the official roadmap lately, but 7 years after it's initial release seems pretty late to me. Seems like Microsoft will be encouraging Vista upgrades so heavily they won't bother with another SP by then.
