In addition to
the previously reported Windows Vista SP1 drop to testers, Microsoft has
just recently (few days ago)
dropped a copy of Windows XP SP3 in the lap of the same small group of
testers. Coming in at less than 350MB, the service pack includes fixes for over
900 reported problems, some of which have already been resolved with
post-Service Pack 2 hotfixes. For the hardcore build string collectors, this
build is tagged 5.1.2600.3180 (xpsp.070718-2058) Given the close proximity of
the two betas I estimate both packs could be released simultaneously.
