Q: What about Windows XP Professional 圆4 Edition?Ī: SP3 does not apply to the 圆4 version of Windows XP. Q: What versions of Windows XP will work with SP3?Ī: You can apply Service Pack 3 to Windows XP Home Edition, Professional Edition, Tablet PC Edition (any version), or Media Center Edition (any version). The company recommends installing SP2 first as well, though that is not required.
Q: Does SP3 include everything from SP1 and SP2 or do I need to install those first?Ī: Though XP SP3 aggregates all of the previously-released XP fixes, Microsoft now says that you will need to install at least SP1 on XP before installing SP3. Here's what I know about Windows XP Service Pack 3.Ī: Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) is the final Windows XP service pack, a collection of previously-released fixes and product enhancements, as well as a few new features that are unique to this release. XP SP3 will consolidate all of these fixes into a single package and, surprisingly, add a few new features, including some that-go figure-debuted first in XP's successor, Windows Vista. It can't come a moment too soon: XP SP2 ( see my review) shipped over three years ago at this writing, and the company has since shipped hundreds of hot-fixes for the OS, giving users a painful updating experience, with multiple reboots. Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), due in the second quarter of 2008, will be the final XP service pack, according to Microsoft. It's time to say goodbye to an old friend.
