One more service pack for XP

Service Pack 2, Windows 1 Minute

CNET News.com says that a spokesman for Microsoft France has confirmed that Service Pack 3 will appear sometime after Windows Vista ships next year:

Windows XP SP3 will be available sometime next year–after the launch of Windows Vista, which “is the priority for the development teams,” according to Microsoft France.

Microsoft has yet to reveal details about the contents of the service pack. Laurent Delaporte of Microsoft France said: “Historically, certain functions of new versions of Windows are integrated in the service packs of previous versions.”

Intriguing. Wonder how many Vista features can be ported backwards?
