Microsoft delay SP3



I saw the following on the CNET news so is it worth downloading it untill
it is released? Ken

The software maker said there is a "compatibility issue" between the XP
service pack and Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System, a retail chain
management program for small and midsize businesses. Microsoft finalized the
code for Windows XP SP3 last week and had planned to make it broadly
available starting Tuesday. "In order to make sure customers have the best
possible experience, we have decided to delay releasing Windows XP SP3 to
Windows Update and Microsoft Download Center," the company said in a
statement. The glitch also exists between Microsoft Dynamics RMS and Windows
Vista Service Pack 1, though that product has already been broadly released.
Microsoft started pushing out Vista SP1 last week via Automatic Updates.

"To help protect our customers, we plan to put filtering in place shortly to
prevent Windows Update from offering both service packs to systems running
Microsoft Dynamics RMS," Microsoft said. "Once filtering is in place, we
expect to release Windows XP SP3 to Windows Update and Download Center."
