Ok, fellow Linux-only users, if you're reading this, let's take a moment and celebrate our superiority...

Now another moment to laugh at the clueless Windows users...

Another moment to pity the herd...

Now let's imagine the world without computers..

Finally, a moment to try and remember how you got from college graduation to your present state of sitting at m0m's house drinking cough syrup to kill the pain while waiting for Conan O'Brien to appear on TV.... damn it, that's just me.

The six people in the world that run Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System will be relieved to hear this news.

Seriously, I wondered what was up, I was looking a few times throughout the day for this mysterious "SP3" that was supposed to come out today.

I suppose that's fair enough if it's just temporary while they sort out the filtering, though would be good if they let manual XP SP3 downloads continue through Windows Update. SP3 is hardly must-have other than for convenience though, if you have a fully-patched SP2 system there's no reason to be in a hurry for SP3.

#2, that link posted in the previous XPSP3 article still works. : derFunkenstein (#3) «
