Hold your horses on that Windows XP SP3 download. Now we know why Microsoft's Download Center doesn't have XP SP3 on it yet, although you can find it if you know the links. Glitch, bug, whatever you want to call it, there's a problem.If you have Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS), a retail chain management program, you don't want to install Windows XP SP3 - or for that matter, Windows Vista SP1. Microsoft has indicated there's a "compatibility issue" between those Service Packs and RMS.
What exactly that means is undefined, but you can bet it ain't good if they're halting rollout of SP3. What's interesting is that last week Microsoft started automatically pushing out Vista SP1 via Windows Update.
Microsoft's statement said:
"To help protect our customers, we plan to put filtering in place shortly to prevent Windows Update from offering both service packs to systems running Microsoft Dynamics RMS. Once filtering is in place, we expect to release Windows XP SP3 to Windows Update and Download Center."They also added they are working on a fix for the incompatibility (naturally).
