Look, I've been waiting for an official download link for the network

wait for this download until EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE PLANET CAN GET IT!

Guess what, MS -- I think subscribers here can probably figure out that they
shouldn't install SP3 on systems that run your point of sale software. Give
me the service pack! I am a sysadmin, and I need the network installation
version so I can prepare an integrated installation package and get some new
installations done!

GET ON WITH IT!


You apparently think you're addressing Microsoft, so let me make it
very clear: this isn't Microsoft here, and you're simply wasting your
(figurative) breath complaining to us. Nobody here can help you.

This is a peer support newsgroup. We are all just Windows XP users
here, helping each other if and when we can. We are not Microsoft
employees (not even those of us with "Microsoft MVP" behind our names;
that's an honorary title for having provided consistently helpful
advice) except for an occasional employee who posts here unofficially
on his own time.

If you want to complain to Microsoft, you'll need to contact them
directly.
