The long-awaited third Service Pack for Windows XP was released to manufacturing (RTM) today, meaning that OEM PC manufacturers like Dell and Hewlett-Packard will soon be able to start incorporating SP3 on their Windows XP-based consumer PC's. Current owners will have to wait until next week - April 29 - for XP SP3 to become available via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center, and online support from the Microsoft Knowledge Base and Microsoft TechNet will be released to the web at the same time. Lastly, customers who use Windows XP at home and who have not installed SP3 will see it enter Automatic Distribution early this summer.
