  • Windows XP Service Pack 3 - here at last!
    One week to the day that Microsoft announced it was postponing the release of SP3, the essential download for XP users has finally made an appearance through Windows Update and the Microsoft Downloads site. Don't expect it to appear in a blaze of glory though - it appears Microsoft isn't pushing the boat out in updating the Windows XP pages to reflect the fact. The best place to start reading about SP3 is this Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

    The simplest - and most bandwidth-friendly - option is to download it through Windows Update. Once launched, you'll be given the option of installing SP3 quite quickly (if not, click Review other updates to download any important outstanding updates - like a cumulative update for IE7 - prior to retrying Windows Update, at which point the magic option should appear.

    Thankfully, Microsoft is also making the full download (all 316MB of it) available on CD. You'll find the link on the main entry page for SP3 in Windows Update. I'll update this post as soon as I can find it buried away on the main Microsoft site somewhere.

    For now, though, go and fill your boots!

They can provide you one including Windows for for £329.00. Dell also has a sub £300 laptop in its Inspiron 1525, which is worth a look. There are several notebooks in this price bracket at PC World.
