Microsoft will be releasing the Windows XP Service Pack 3 in the first half of 2008 which means that users have to wait several months before they can install the new Windows XP Service Pack on their computer. As with most other Microsoft releases that are not yet ready for the prime time the Service Pack 3 can also be downloaded early.

Microsoft was never good at keeping files and releases for themselves. It is normally only a matter of hours until the first scene release of a popular Microsoft alpha, beta or final version hits the net and gets spread around like crazy on p2p networks, the Usenet and ftp.
