Company officials said on Wednesday that the Windows team plans to deliver a near-public beta of XP SP3 by mid-September.

The final version of XP SP3 is slated to hit some time in the first half of calendar 2008, officials said. (Thats the same date the Softies have been promising officially for a while now. Microsoft wont be any more specific on XP SP3 timing.) Company officials did not release a feature set for XP SP3 on August 29. The only new piece of information available was the public-beta due date.
