Third Windows XP service pack due next year

There will be a third service pack for Windows XP, due some time in the next year, according to a report by ZDNet. Microsoft France's technical and security director Bernard Ourghanlian was quoted as saying, bluntly: "There will be a Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Windows XP." However, there is confusion over when exactly. Some say SP3 won't arrive until after the launch of Vista, which remains Microsoft's priority. Other reports suggest that the origin of the story was Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer, who reportedly said at Surfa Lugnt - Swedish National Data Security Day - that SP3 could ship ahead of Vista.
