Here it is. The unofficial fix list for Windows XP SP3. I want to make sure that you understand that SP3 isn't even close to beta yet, so this by no means is the final list and new fixes are added almost daily. Today we've updated the WindowsXP Service Pack 3 hotfix list with 10 new updates. Some are downloadable via Microsoft Update as security updates and others are non-critical fixes available only by request directly to Microsoft. Either way, they give a good sneak peak into the next Service Pack fixes and features.
