It is timed to release at the same time as the all-new Stutz Bearcat, an
event which will be overflown by the never before seen Supermarine Spitfire
Mk1..

Nobody knows, because no information on it has been released. If
there is one (there's no guarantee that there will be one, but
there may well be) it will be when Microsoft is ready to release
it.

Well you see, most people, that aren't MicroSycophants, are betting that
Longhorn/Vista isn't really gonna be that much of an upgrade, just
another spin on the NT5.x wheel, with some cosmetic eye-candy changes,
and security fixes. So in reality, Longhorn/Vista will not be much more
than XP SP3, except the eye-candy will require more RAM than XP.

Get it?

SP3 for for what program? There isn't a service pack 3 for Windows XP.
There is a SP3 for Office XP.

That is *not* correct. There is no SP3 for Windows XP. There are
SP3s for a variety of other software products, but not Windows
XP.

1) Service Pack 3 for XP has NOT been released yet. As far as I know,
it is still in development, and has not even reached Beta status yet.

2) Service Pack 3 for Office XP HAS been released. If Windows Update
is telling you to upgrade Office XP, it obviously isn't telling you to
upgrade Windows XP. So, upgrade Office XP.
