SP3 for WinXP...
... is available since today. German version is 313 MB.
Google lets you find a download site easily. Post experiences and problems here! Reports said that on many system there are speed gains of around 10% (compared to XP-SP2). Reports also say that it is more than twice as fast as Vista. I will give it a week or two and monitor the web for feedback before downloading and installing myself.

Looks like there is one small bug and the release is delayed. I have seen several new reports with in the past two hours.

Has been available for 3 days now from certain sources.......the jury is still out. I wouldn't install it until feedback is gathered.

As far as I know theres really not anything big for SP3, as Micro$oft is going to get XP off the shelves as soon as it can. Although I have heard its going to stick around for netbooks and Vista Business/Ultimate downgrades. Sad that they won't keep it in the Retail/OEM channels but there it is. go to www.saveXP.com and sign the petition if you think that XP should stay around.
