Re: Win XP SP3 staged rollout?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

MS says that computers with AU set to Automatic won't be offered SP3 by AU until next month, Mike. I don't make the news, I just report it. YMMV.

Automatic Updates settings are the same. Anyway, not a biggie. As it
is, I don't care much if the desktop craps out due to a SP3 error,
but I'd rather wait with SP3 on the laptop.

I suspect Automatic Updates on the desktop is configured for 'Notify Only'
or 'Download but Notify' but the laptop's configured for 'Automatic' (which
happens by default when you install OneCare). If so, the laptop should be
offered SP3 sometime in mid- to late-June, Mike.

I run two computers with Win XP Pro. One is a desktop that I built
myself, the other is an IBM/Lenovo laptop. Both computers also run
Windows Llive Onecare and are set to automatically receive updates. I
still have to pull the trigger to apply the updates.

My desktop downloaded the SP3 update more than a week ago, but the
laptop has give no indication that it has received the update yet.

I guess I can manually go the the Microsoft Update site and see if it
is available for the Laptop, but I was just wondering if there is a
staged rollout and if the Laptop might be on a later stage (perhaps
OEM versions update later than off-the-shelf) copies of XP?
