Anyone have a link to a list of all the patches in SP3. The final
update not any of the RC updates.
I have a hotfix supplied to me by MS, and I want to apply it with nlite
to my SP3 CD I'm going to build. Only if I have to of course.

Ain't been no hot fixes since SP3 was released m'man.

You should wait.

No the hotfix I have was for my pre SP3 system to make it work. Its
an old hotfix, but its a hotfix unreleased to the public via the WU
process. But unless its in SP3, my cardreader will not work if I don't
apply it. And I can always post install load it, but heck, it would be
nice to have it in there.

But I think you have the answer to my question. I'll wait for the 29th
and get the list.

The present release notes are the final. The list of patches rolled up in
SP3 has been final for quite a while. No patches were added to the RC2
refresh.

How about direct publically available and direct downloadable updates?

(And as the days spread out April 21, 2008... This will continue to happen,
in a year people will be asking for a roll-up because they tire of
installing so many onto a fresh install (although if they took 30 minutes
each month, they could grab all the updates, put them in a folder and
integrate at their whim.))

A lot of people speculate there will some day be a SP4 simply for the
reason that Home edition will continue to be sold on low-cost laptops
through June 2010. With stuff like USB 3.0 coming out in the near
future and who knows what else, it'll likely come as either another SP
or post-SP roll-up (SP3a?) supports it. I don't know that we'll see
the amount of updates being so high after SP3 since the gap in time
since SP2 and SP3 was nearly 4 years, right? SP3 encompassed some
1000+ updates. Compared to what you have to install from WU after a
fresh SP2 install, it's a drop in the bucket. No one has anything to
whine about if in a year there are even 25 updates to install after a
fresh SP3 install. In 4 years, we'll see. In 4 years, no one will care
about XP because something better may be out.

We'll all know how to slipstream by the time SP3 needs 25 updates! :-)

Ha! I'm sure we'll see nlite updated for SP3 shortly.

It is just speculation. MS has stated flatley that SP3 is the final for XP.
They will do one or two rollups before they ring down the curtain but that
is all.
