Early birds may get a worm
MICROSOFT has pulled the plug on the expected release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 because of a glitch in the way it works with MS Retail Management Systems (RMS).
Anyone who jumped the gun and downloaded the update from any one of the non-official sources bouncing around the Wibble for the last couple of days should think twice before hitting the install button.
Volish minions won't say when a proper version of the update will be available, but it won't be pushed out through normal channels until Redmond has worked out how to filter downloads from RMS customers. µ
