I can't say SP3 has made XP 'more desirable' for me - it's pretty much the same as before (although speed is up overall but still way behind Vista x64 SP1) to me.
Nothing against it really, it's just that i've moved on (except on the eee).

There's barely anything feature wise (as expected) and in the main it's a rollup (which was needed as SP2 came out ages ago) as a service pack should be.

Yes, a few sites have reported that and mainly attributed it to 'a company spokesperson'.

Microsoft doesn't appear to have made an official announcement on the subject yet and, presumably, the RTW will proceed shortly.

The matter of some people preferring a tried and tested XP over Vista will continue to be reality for Microsoft regardless of when the RTW officially happens.
