After applying the june 14th XP update described in
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS05-026.mspx

I noticed that the registry contained "SP3" updates
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\KB896358\Filelist

This happened with several post-SP2 updates,
athough I'm still on SP1
(SP2 is not compatible with my 3 yo PC, incompatibel old drivers and no OEM support
for SP2,
I was forced to go back to SP1)

So I guess there must be an XP SP3 coming up in....?
