I had heard/read somewhere that there would be a standalone version issued which could be downloaded (a really big file), but since my system has not been able to do online updates for about a year and M$ cannot figure out why, I was hoping that installing SP3 (as a standalone) would fix whatever was "broken" in Windows XP... -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gman Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 1:02 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Anyone have the URL for the standalone download of Windows XP SP3??? Today is the release date for SP3 through Windows Update, but I don't believe it's available as a standalone download just. The only thing available through normal channels is the pack's white paper. It's also my understanding that the standalone, once released, will be much larger than the download through Windows Update.
