FixMyXP first reported on Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) in the latter part of 2005(Read: Windows XP SP3 Preview).  Now, according to Microsoft themselves per their Windows Service Pack Road Map, which was updated on Oct 17th, 2006, Windows XP SP3 will not be released until 1st Quarter 2008. XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) was released on August 24th, 2004, so that means that there will be at least a four year span between SP2 and SP3.
