No Wendy, XP SP3 is still in beta. Sure it will be available from the
Windows XP update page when it is available and this and other lists
will be ful of it, if only because it could bring screen reader
issues, though one hopes not.
Cheers,
From Ray

XP SP3 was mentioned. Is this ready now, and is it easy to install?

Yes, I'd heard this about Vista's successor turning up sooner than
originally planned. Reason? Simple. Vista's not doing as well as MS
hoped. Not enough extra bang for the bucks for 30% of users or more,
according to a UK survey I saw published in PC Pro.
I'm not at all sure we'll be missing out substantially access-tech
wise either regarding nice things that can be done in Vista with
Mirror drivers vs. video chaining, although the latest release of
Window-Eyes I understand might take advantage of mirror drivers for a
bit of extra functionality.
Like to bet Steve Nutt would know something about this, but he
probably cannot say if, as I think, he's a beta tester for W-E7.
Cheers,

Andy, I would be more concerned about the JAWS functionality in XP. I
tend
to feel that as the Operating System moves on, so JAWS starts to
suffer on
the previous version.
Would you believe Microsoft are proposing to release Windows 7 in
2009,
bringing that release date forward from 2010?
