Windows XP SP3 leaps into the tubes
Second verse, same as the first

Microsoft is giving the automatic web release of Windows XP Service  
Pack 3 another go today, after an eleventh hour muck-up ruined its  
scheduled availability last week.

The truant XP service pack is ready for download via Microsoft's  
Download Center or alternatively, Windows Update if using Internet  
Explorer. Here's the ISO CD image file too for good measure while  
we're trolling hyperlinks.

Microsoft had pulled the mass download last week when it uncovered an  
incompatibility issue between SP3 and its point-of-sale application,  
Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS). The issue in question — and  
they've yet to specify what the problem is — also affects Windows  
Vista SP1.
