Look on the bright side - with SP3 you can download it once and deploy it everywhere. Otherwise you’d have to run Windows Update on each of those PCs and download that huge package time and time again.

Wow, thats an awfully huge file to download, and thats an insane amount of updates! Why doesn’t Microsoft start working harder and make better things, since Bill Gates has a lot of money.

Well, I guess I’m not going to be the one updating my Grandmother’s computer with a Dial-up connection!

Maybe the same people who are working on SP3 for XP x64 are also working on the media connect for the 360, *STILL* no sign of it 2.5 years after the 360 was released!

For those looking for SP3 for Windows XP 64 Bit Edition, I was told by a friend that works for MS Development team that their working on it. As for the release date, not before early 2009. Only a very small team is actually working on it as its not considered urgent. Most all MS’s brain power are either involved with Vista SP2 or Windows 7 due public around 2010. These release dates are speculative as only MS corp can decide of exact release dates, and not their employees.Scoop: Windows 7 is built from Scratch, and will not hold any previous Windows version libraries, so it will have a very small footprint ( 1.4GB’s). Vista is the last OS to carry around the bloat of previous OS’es with it.
