ESET Smart Security 4 Review

But even with the wait for SP3 nearly over, Microsoft is managing not to breathe a single word on its plans. Until this point in time there has been no official confirmation pointing to the RTM deadline of XP SP3. At the end of the past week, I asked Microsoft to either
    confirm or deny the leaked availability dates for XP SP3. Representatives from the Redmond company have done neither so far.
