Long overdue following numerous updates, Windows XP SP3 will hit by mid 2008.

This much is certain, as the Redmond company has debuted the testing for the operating systems service pack all the way back in July 2007.

A near final Release Candidate build of XP SP3 is currently available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers with a public version looming on the horizon.

It also includes select out-of-band releases, and a small number of new enhancements, which do not significantly change customers experience with the operating system.

Windows XP SP3 provides a new baseline for customers still deploying Windows XP.

For customers with existing Windows XP installations, Windows XP SP3 fills gaps in the updates they might have missedfor example, by declining individual updates when using Windows Update, Microsoft informed.

Supporting this perspective are illustrative examples, such as the fact that XP SP3 will not even include Internet Explorer 7, while at the same time the service pack will deliver additional functionality such as the MMC 3.0 framework, MSXML6, Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435), Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.5, IPsec Simple Policy Update for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, Digital Identity Management Service (DIMS), Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRP) 2.1 and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2).

Straight from Vista, XP SP3 will come with the Network Access Protection (NAP) platform.

Microsoft will also overhaul the Security Options control panel in XP SP3 with the integration of Descriptive Security Options User Interface.

The activation infrastructure of the operating system will be revamped making it more like Vistas, and XP SP3 will also feature enhanced security for Administrator and Service policy entries and the Microsoft Kernel Mode Cryptographic Module.
