Latest Vista update disabling PCs
Microsoft has made its Service Pack 3 Release Candidate 2 for Windows XP available for public download after three weeks in the hands of invite-only beta testers.
Windows users who want to install SP3 RC2 must first download and run a small registry hack from Microsoft that allows the PC to see the SP3 RC2 update on Windows Update.
The SP3 RC2 patch will be the last major update for XP before Microsoft pulls it from the shelves in June. Of course, Microsoft will still be obligated to service legacy XP customers after that date, but it’s expected this will be done in patches rather than full-on service packs.
