That site gave the wrong download link for it. Their "Download SP3 from Microsoft" link is NOT the download link, but only info on it, that's why it didn't say anything about Beta! http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=68c48dad-bc34-40be-8d85-6bb4f56f5110&displaylang=en I checked and it's in RC2 now. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=114f3599-12af-42b2-aab1-b969a62c68a7&displaylang=en -Clint ----- Original Message ----- Looks like XP SP3 is out of Beta now, I no longer see "Beta" at the download page. I must say I'm OVERJOYED to see these features of it: 1. Stability updates: These updates impact on how the already stable XP runs increasing the availability and reliability of the operating system. 2. Performance updates: These updates improve XP performance and enhance interoperability and hardware compatibility. The article: Title: Windows XP SP3 Security Link: http://www.WindowSecurity.com/articles/Windows-XP-SP3-Security.html Summary: In this article we will focus on Windows XP Service Pack 3 security features and Operating System changes. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
