With all respect, if the service pack had been recalled, the first place
from which they would have taken it away would be Windows Update.
Windows XP Service Pack 3 was not recalled, and I just now was able to
start a download of it from the Microsoft download center. This needs to
be made clear, as APH is, rightly, considered a reliable source of
information for the most part, but I'm afraid are incorrect in this
case.
