Windows XP SP3

It's out... Has anyone tried it yet?

I've been running the final RC version for the last two weeks and haven't had any hiccups so far, :thumbup: but I just heard from a friend in the IT field (TX NG Sys Admin) that MS is having some sort of difficulties kicking the damn thing out the door and have delayed the release for another two weeks...so I'll wait, un-install this version, and upgrade then.

Thanks for the heads up. I searched around and found out what caused the delay:

Apparently It had a limited release though MSDN and then it was un-released a week later because they found problem with something that Ive never heard of and probably never use.. I guess I'll wait till long after they think they are finish with patching their patch.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release to Web (RTW) Delayed

28 Apr 2008

In the last few days, we have uncovered a compatibility issue between Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS) and both Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1). In order to make sure customers have the best possible experience, we have decided to delay releasing Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) to the web.

To help protect customers, we plan to put filtering in place shortly to prevent Windows Update from offering both service packs to systems running Microsoft Dynamics RMS. Once filtering is in place, we expect to release Windows XP SP3 to the web.

We are also testing a fix, and will make it available once that process is complete. Once they have installed the fix, Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers should be able to run both service packs.

Until then, we advise Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers to not install either service pack. Microsoft Dynamics RMS customers running Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP1 should contact Microsoft Customer Support Services for additional information.
