Windows XP Service Pack 3 Preview

We've got a 100+ hotfix pack of many of the Windows XP SP3 fixes up for download. These are fixes that you would have to call Microsoft and get through their support center. These probably won't be up for download for more than a few days, so grab them while their hot!

I think saurav is right. But confirmation will come only from the user. If it contains only hotfixes then Autopatcher Aug 05 is my choice.
But can anyone use the name 'Windows XP Service Pack 3 Preview' in their unofficial release??

Google search.......only office xp service pack 3.

@medigit
You should wait till microsft releases SP 3 officially. And should not install this one.

This won't be a messaround I suppose, but why worry?? We have autopatcher, on the Digit CD every month..... No Probs

This is simply a zip file with all of the hotfixes in exe format. There is no general installer.
