    Microsoft has said repeatedly that the public will not see the Vista sp until near the end of the year at the earliest and likely next year

    I cant confirm that. Talked to the MS support just now and they said "earlier then people think" and that it will come "very soon". I think all the other info the MS said before is all outdated.

    Perhaps with these two service packs it will finally be possible to burn a CD on one OS that can be read on the other?

    For burning a cd issue, make sure you burn the cd as mastered instead of live cause live treats the cd as a usb drive.

    I doubt SP3 will have any major bugfixes or feature additions that aren't already available in existing patches/hotfixes. The primary purpose of SP3 will be to bundle the 90+ patches you have to download after an SP2 install into a single download.

    And SP3 brings an Aero-link GUI to the OS. Looks sweet!

    The UI in those pics has nothing to do with SP3, as stated in the piece.
