Update: Windows XP SP3 Available

5/6/2008

For those using IE 8 Beta 1 on Windows XP SP2, Microsoft recommends uninstalling this beta version first before installing Windows XP SP3. Doing so avoids a similar issue where the option to remove IE 8 Beta 1 may be subsequently grayed out after applying SP3.

Microsoft TechNet subscribers can download the Windows XP SP3 slipstream build by going here.

General users of Windows XP can either wait for SP3 to become available through Automatic Updates or download it from Windows Update.

The news about the release was publicized via a Microsoft blog. The rapid response team for a public relations firm that represents Microsoft, Waggener-Edstrom, did not respond to our request for comment on this story.
