I think it’s more likely that following the release of Vista, they’ll have to delay XP SP3 because they’ll be so busy writing Vista SP1.

I thing the delay reason of Xp SP3 is not due to Vista SP1 . In my opinion its late due to some technical reasons.

yeah i agree with Pete..but the benefits and all the features in Vista SP1 are also building in SP3..so they are kind of working on both projects..Vista SP1 is just priority 1.
