Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate

Standalone Update Package for Windows® XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate

See the overview from http://www.microsoft.com/

Windows XP SP3 combines all previously released performance, security, and stability updates. It also
provides a limited number of new and enhanced functionalities, although it does not significantly change the
Windows XP experience or bring functionality from newer versions of Windows to Windows XP. The goals of
Windows XP SP3 are to:

• Provide a new baseline for customers still deploying Windows XP, to help them avoid the inconvenience
  of applying individual updates.
• Fill gaps in the updates users might have missed by declining individual updates when using Automatic
  Updates, and to deliver updates not made available through Windows Update.

Windows Vista provides the most advanced security and management capability, but for PCs that cannot be
upgraded to Windows Vista right now, Windows XP SP3 ensures these PCs have all available updates and
allows these PCs to leverage some new Windows Server 2008 capabilities, such as Network Access
Protection (NAP).
