Hm, "XP SP3 v.3244" - is that one of those beta servicepacks? I didn't think SP3 was final yet?
Josh:
SP3 has had several leaks.

Yeah, I know that there's various (pirated?) beta leaks, but who in their right mind would use a beta version of a service pack, except for testing on a virtual machine to know what to expect for production servers?

I bet the Vista SP1 development guys are just fuming.

One last note: SP3 is now a Release Candidate, not a Beta, and anyone can update to it directly from Microsoft. Vista is a Beta, and you are the unpaid tester.
