Q: When will Microsoft ship XP SP3?

A: The company says that Windows XP Service Pack 3 will ship in the second quarter of 2008, or about three months after Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008. However, you can now download a near-final version of XP3, the Windows XP SP3 RC refresh.

I am curious. If one was to install Windows XP SP3 RC2, would it be a smooth upgrade to Windows XP SP3 Gold?

Windows SDK coders do it without a .NET

Generally speaking, as is the case with most Microsoft beta/RC builds, you should uninstall it before installing the RTM build. That's actually good practice for any software.
