"There will be a Service Pack 3 for Windows XP," Bernard Ourghanlian, technical and security director at Microsoft France, confirmed, revealing that Microsoft's OS is set for another major update.
Windows XP's Service Pack 2, which came out last September, deeply modified the operating system by updating its security.
Windows XP SP3 will be available sometime next year -- after the launch of Windows Vista, which "is the priority for the development teams," according to Microsoft France.
Microsoft has yet to reveal details about the contents of the service pack. Laurent Delaporte of Microsoft France said: "Historically, certain functions of new versions of Windows are integrated in the service packs of previous versions."
