Windows Vista: Over One Third of Vista Machines Have Been Downgraded to XP

This is why I'm keeping my current laptop as long as possible.

Windows XP Service Pack 3

I took the plunge tonight and installed Windows XP Service Pack 3, even though it has not been pushed to the Windows Update servers. However, it is available from Microsoft if you know how to get it. All the details on how to grab the official file from Microsoft are available here.

So far, so good. Nothing appears to be broken, which is always a plus when installing a major update.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 delayed

PC Mag reports that the third (and final) service pack for Windows XP, which was due out today, has been delayed due to ... wait for it ... compatibility issues!

Which means you can safely use your PC for at least a few more days before collapsing into a weeping mess trying to figure out how Microsoft managed to break your computer with an update.

OK, OK, I kid.

A bit.

Just remember, kids ... System Restore is your friend.
