XP Service Pack 3

To our knowledge, this is the correct, final build. Unless someone can prove otherwise.

 

This is the post that started it all - I have verified that the md5 is the same as the build that we released.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Released to Manufacturing

Today we are happy to announce that Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) has released to manufacturing (RTM). Windows XP SP3 bits are now working their way through our manufacturing channels to be available to OEM and Enterprise customers.
We are also in the final stages of preparing for release to the web (i.e. you!) on April 29th, via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center. Online documentation for Windows XP SP3, such as Microsoft Knowledge Base articles and the Microsoft TechNet Windows XP TechCenter, will be updated then. For customers who use Windows XP at home, Windows XP SP3 Automatic Update distribution for users at home will begin in early summer.
Thanks to everyone here who installed the public betas Γ?? you not only gave us detailed feedback but also helped each other out with timely troubleshooting. Through the beta program we found several important issues and were able to confirm some essential fixes. We couldnΓ??t have done this without you.
We will still be monitoring this forum during the next few weeks in case you have more feedback about the release of Windows XP SP3.
On behalf of myself, Shashank Bansal and Windows Serviceability, many thanks.

Just to retouch on the file that Majorgeeks has for XP SP3, while many have read that the full size of the MSDN/TechNet download ISO is 544mb, that file set does'nt just include XP SP3 but all the other add-ons as in DotNetFX, ValueAdd folder etc ( total size of those is 229mb ) where as the basic XP SP3 file is 316mb and change!

The file that WU will supply will be in the 316mb area, AU will supply it in various sizes dependent on PC spec and XP used.
