 Microsoft has quietly said that it plans to flip the switch and turn on automatic updates for Windows XP SP3.
Microsoft will release the update to Windows Update at 10 a.m. Pacific Time Thursday. At that time users who have left the operating system’s update service at it’s default "Automatic (recommended)" setting will be able to obtain SP3 via Windows Update.
"Updated applicability rules and updated metadata to target the update to Automatic Update channel," read a Microsoft support document revised today after the company unveiled its monthly security patches.
"The Automatic Update change will be published at 10:00 A.M. on July 10." Yesterday, a Microsoft manager said only that XP SP3 would be automatically downloaded and installed "shortly," but did not specify a date.
Microsoft has delayed the distribution of Windows XP SP3 twice this spring, nevertheless, the July 10 date seems firm.
