As a matter of fact, XP SP3 RC2 just released to beta testers this morning.
(There was no rtm date in the announcement, of course).

Vista SP1 was released to manufacturing two days ago, on February 4th.
It is expected to be available for downloading to end users around the
middle of March.
Server 2008 was released to manufacturing on the same day.

The last release candidate for Vista SP1 turned out to also be the rtm
build. It did not have a time-bomb date nor did it display "evaluation
copy" on the desktop. If XP SP3 has those characteristics then there may
not be any more builds and MS may be hoping that, barring a showstopper bug
showing up, 3300 could rtm.

fwiw, build 18000 (Vista SP1 rtm) is already in use by several thousand
techbeta testers who will not have to do anything when SP1 begins
distribution in a few weeks so be prepared for all sorts of scenarios that
sound unlikely but will turn out to be true.

Why have certain people got this OBSESSION with SP3? My machine runs
perfectly well at the moment without it, and when it comes along I'll
install it, but it it's not a life-or death matter WHEN it comes out.... >> Stay informed about: Realse Date for XP SP3: March 23-24th |

ease of use would be my guess. I had to reinstall for new mobo my
slipstreamed sp2, so when I saw sp3rc was out I backed it up and installed
it. As opposed to putting on 90 express fixes to SP2. Very ho-hum : the
only difference I have noticed is that when I go to windows update there's
only 1 there. So when sp3 final comes out I'll just restore back, and
install sp3 and continue. Might take me 20 min. Then I'll go make a new
slipstream with XP and just SP3.
