But you need to accept the "revised" Update software first. After
this is installed, and your XP is "validated," then SP 3 will be
shown as "available" to your XP.

Looks like he's posting directly to the Microsoft groups via the web
interface. They are fast, and propagate quite nicely.

'Scuse me. Misread your post, PD43. But the Web Interface is a little more
problematic than a newsreader. (Not a week though). <g>

It already is available through Windows Updates if that is what you mean.
It becomes an automatic update for those with AU turned on in early Summer.
