On the Vista side of things, Windows Vista SP1 availability via Windows Update was first announced on March 18, although some users experienced snags in trying to install it. Microsoft had already released Windows XP SP3 to manufacturers on April 21. Yesterday (April 29) was supposed to be the big debut of Windows XP SP3's availability via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center. However, the company is still making Windows Vista SP1 available via Microsoft Download Center or Windows Update.Ī notice briefly describing the problem was posted yesterday in a Microsoft TechNet blog by Chris Keroack. Consequently, Microsoft has postponed Web access to downloading Windows XP SP3.
One of Microsoft's retail point-of-sale applications has an incompatibility with Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
