Not without much turmoil, SP3 for Windows XP and SP1 for Windows Vista, are back online, and after several uneventful weeks it looks like this time it's for real. You can download SP3 here and SP1 (which was never unavailable for download) again on the whole Windows Update widget.

The main problem was with the Microsoft Dynamic RMS (a program for small businesses) which seemed to have some Service Pack related flaws; if needed, there's now a hotfix for that.

The newest of the two, Windows XP SP3, arrives at the same moment Microsoft will stop selling the operating system. It will still be sold for some time, bundled with OEM computers, but you can kiss it goodbye as far as shelf space is concerned. This Service Pack contains more than 1100 hotfixes and weighs 316 MB.
