Comprehensive list of post-SP2 hotfixes included in XP SP3

#1 Post by icantux » Wed May 07, 2008 1:57 pm

**EDIT**
Originally posted a question as to where one could find a comprehensive list of post-SP2 hotfixes included in SP3. The link in the next post leads directly to such a list.

------- original message -----------

Is there a list somewhere that shows which hotfixes or other "fixes" (post-SP2) that are included in SP3?

Reason is, I'm thinking of slipstreaming SP3 into my XP(SP2) and make a new installation disk for some thinkpads, but I'd like to find out and compare which post-SP2 hotfixes (laptop, thinkpad specific) are not included in the current SP3 so I may integrate those as well.

Cheers!

Well ... got it.

For anyone else that's interested, here's a complete list of hotfixes/security updates included in XP SP3 (Microsoft published May 06, 2008):

Hope this proves useful for others as well.

Cheers


**** EDIT ***
I cross-referenced all the hotfixes in this SP3 with those that came in the XP preload on my T61. Every "Q" and "KB" hotfix that was installed on the T61 (most of these are laptop-related hotfixes) are included in this SP3 from Microsoft. (includes high-def audio hotfix, standby/hibernation bug hotfix, power consumption hotfix, etc).

I would presume that slipstreaming SP3 onto a XP-SP2 stock disk intended for a fresh install would pose no problems. Yet to test this on my machine.

Thanks for posting! Not quite as exciting as SP2, but it's a long list nonetheless.

I will also be trying my hand at a slipstream next week.
