I have to do an XP rebuild over the next couple of days and I really don’t want to do all the painful updating, nearly 100 updates!
Does anyone with MSN or Technet access have a link that I can use to get XP SP3 RTM now rather than waiting for the 29th?
Cheers

Vista SP1 was released to Technet before general download. TBH I thought I had seen stuff on M$ saying that XP SP3 would be as well.
If you hear anything else please SHOUT!
Cheers

Thanks OJ. I have what is allegedly the final version on Major Geeks after following your link. Much appreciated.
Peace be with you.

File name was WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe File Version V 6.2.0029.0
Does that sound like it would still be pre-release?
Cheers

"The file that comes straight from MS ("The Author's Site" or "Alternative 1") and is 330,nnn,nnn bytes instead of 331,nnn,nnn seems to be an older RC. That's why people are seeing different hashes. It seems a lot easier to just wait a few more days for the official download."
So apparently if you choose locations 2 or above (ie don't get it direct from microsoft) it's the correct version, otherwise it's a release candidate.
Hope that helps,

That's the same exe that was in the MSDN ISO I downloaded, which is the finished article.
