Default What's the status of post SP3 hotfixres (SP4 ?)

Hi all,
not sure if there's going to be an SP4. What about SP3 rollup ?
Have there been many post-SP3 fixes of note?

Any worth persuing and instaling ?
(I'm talking about non-security fixes)

Thanks for any info.

Isn't this an XP group? Don't MVP's hang out in here?
Don't regular users of the group keep abreast of rumors and
items of note ?

Is my question that unreasonable ?

Whatever post SP3 fixes is what you download in parts from Windows Update. As Tom
answered. Also I do not know either. One thing I can guarantee that there will be
no SP4 since support for XP (certain versions) has expired or retired as you wish

No SP4.

The post-SP3 "hotfixes" are available at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

No, there is not an SP3 rollup.

Every update released since 21 April 2008 is a "post-SP3 fix."

At this point, and likely for some time to come, XP is being installed
by OEMs on new "small footprint" computers, such as "netbooks".
Future support of XP may be pushed off to the OEMS.
Microsoft may or may not make the equivalent of "SP4" available to them.
If so, I would guess that it might also be made public.

No customer likes to fire up a brand new computer, and then spend a
significant amount of time updating the brand new computer.

It was like this in the "Vista era" but now, most netbooks come with
Windows 7 Starter edition.

I've upgraded my "XP netbook"(ASUS) to Win7 Home and it runs as well, if
not better than with XP.

True.

My EEE came with XP too. Because you can't directly get from XP to
Windows 7 without doing a clean installation, I first upgraded to
Vista, then to Windows 7 Ultimate. Performance isn't great, but it's
adequate for my uses.
