Service Pack 3 for Windows XP?

Ed Bott Windows, Windows Vista May 1, 2005 1 Minute

Well, this is interesting. F-Secure is covering the launch of National Data Security Day in Sweden, with keynote speaker Steve Ballmer:

Mr. Ballmer made some interesting remarks: Microsoft might indeed ship SP3 for Windows XP before longhorn comes out. Also, upcoming version 7 of Internet Explorer should have anti-phishing technology built-in.

Microsoft’s PR people are going to have to interrupt whatever they’re working on this weekend as their pagers and SmartPhones begin buzzing. And buzzing. And buzzing.
