微软回应:不要安装“Windows XP SP3非官方预览版”
微软在上周已经表示:Vista之后就是XP SP3。但是非官方的Windows XP SP3“Preview Pack”很快就出现在了网络上。该安装包由TheHotfix.net网站的成员创建,新闻来源表示该SP3包,包括了许多目前没有公开的补丁修复程序。
最近我们得到了微软对这一“非官方包”的回应:
“该安装包只是对我们已经公布的一些热点补丁和升级进行了简单的收集整理,并不能将Windows XP系统升级到SP3。其中还包含了一些私有的补丁文件,这些可能会给用户造成一些未经确认的特殊的麻烦,这些补丁没有经过公开的严格的测试,因此我们要求你们去和我们的PSS(产品技术支持服务)联系,以便我们进行跟踪服务,并且提供进一步的援助,及时的告知新版本的补丁信息。
安装这些第三方的补丁到PC当中,将会导致机器变得更加的不稳定。而且如果安装了不正确的补丁修复程序,同样也会让你不能获得微软或OEM商的支持。坦白的说这个“包”还是尽量的避免安装,应该继续使用Windows Update和下载站点获得最新的而且是正确的补丁和升级文件。”

Subject: Re: Windows XP SP3 Preview download
You would be well advised to stay clear of this FAKE SP3 package.
It is NOT suitable for testing as it is NOT SP3.
If is just a collection of hotfixes and other updates we have released. It will not update your Windows XP system to SP3
It also contains a number of private " hotfixes that are usually only issued to users with a specific identifiable problem. The hotfixes are not as rigorously tested at public released ones this is why we ask you to call PSS to get them so we can track you and provide further assistance such as new versions of the fixes etc as they become available. Just installing all the "privates" on your PC may make you machine LESS stable and will also put you out of support from Microsoft or an OEM as you are installing incorrectly issued private hotfixes.
Frankly this "package" should be avoid and you should continue to use
Windows Update and the download site to get the most up-to-date and correctly issued Microsoft fixes and patches.
Anyone who installs this thinking they are getting SP3 (even as a preview)
is being grossly mislead and is posing a significant potentially non
recoverable risk to their PC and data.
