As reported previously, the general availability of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) was scheduled by Microsoft to start on the 29 April 2009 through Windows Update and the Download Center.

However, as soon as XP SP3 hit RTM on the 21 April 2008, and Microsoft started shipping the first gold builds to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and close partners, the final version was leaked and made available for download from various third parties

XP SP3 is now widely available and in strong demand from a number of torrent web sites. This shows how popular Windows XP still is!. If you want XP SP3 now, the Final Build 5512 can be downloaded from here.
