Microsoft said on Tuesday that it is making public its latest test version of Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Owners of some AMD-based computers are finding that the move to Windows XP Service Pack 3 has sent their systems into an endless reboot cycle.
Microsoft released another version of Windows XP Service Pack 3 on Tuesday, but the software remains in the test phase.
Microsoft on Tuesday said it is delaying the release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 because of a newly uncovered glitch.
Users who install Windows XP Service Pack 3 will not be required to enter Microsoft's product activation key before they use the operating system, according to a Microsoft whitepaper.
It takes a fair bit of nerve to charge anything to fix up a botched product, but Microsoft's $14.95 price to get a physical copy of Windows XP Service Pack 3 really takes some beating for sheer gall.
Windows XP SP3 provides support for WPA2 and the Peer Name Resolution Protocol used in Windows Vista, among other things. See how our install of the RTM code went.
Microsoft has unveiled a flurry of critical security alerts for Windows. Get the details on Microsoft Security Bulletins MS04-029 through MS04-038 and learn what you need to do to protect your systems.
Microsoft's global head of product security, George Stathakopoulos, is leading the company's efforts to dam the rising tide of security problems.

George Stathakopoulos, general manager of product security at Microsoft, tells us how Windows XP SP2 came about and why the company is not yet ready to talk about XP SP3. He also explains that UAC in Windows Vista is designed to be part of a 'defence in depth' strategy and not a standalone security solution.
Windows Vista Home Basic is essentially warmed-over Windows XP, Windows XP SP3. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.
Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.
Panasonic has created a new paradigm in rugged notebooks with the CF-U1, which is a nice balance between portability and functionality. However businesses should be aware of its limited performance, and note that protection comes at a premium price.
Early releases of the Xen hypervisor showed promise but had lots of rough edges. Citrix's XenServer 5, however, is very much a production-class virtualisation solution with features that match, and in some cases exceed, what's available on rival platforms.
