SP3 is disappointing! Looking forward to SP4 or embracing Vista SP1

Last week, the Windows XP SP3 Simplified Chinese version of the CD image leak allowed many users to get a glimpse of the service pack in advance. However, most users feel the psychological gap from expectation to disappointment! So, do you choose to continue to look forward to Windows XP SP4, or decided to embrace Windows Vista SP1?

Long-awaited! With the entry of Windows XP SP3 into the RTM phase, Windows XP users are looking forward to seeing the official version of SP3 in person.

According to the confirmed release schedule, Microsoft will open Windows XP SP3 installation or image files to users on the Windows Update and the "Download Center" of the official website on April 29; May 2 At the beginning, Microsoft's MSDN and Technet developer-oriented technical sites will also provide Windows XP SP3 downloads; after June 10, Microsoft will push SP3 to Windows XP users through the operating system's "automatic update" feature.

The release time of Windows XP SP3 is clear, so that users who are wary of Redmond software giants because of Microsoft's consistent ticket style can finally settle down and wait for Windows XP SP3 to arrive.

Disappointing after the excitement, the user's psychological gap is huge:

In the Internet era, the official version has not been released, and the phenomenon of leaking software first appears everywhere. As early as last week, Chinese users have long been able to obtain Windows XP SP3 Simplified Chinese version of the CD image in the form of BT download.

It is an excitement to be able to get a Windows XP SP3, and the majority of Windows XP users are excited. A little sense of vanity, a sense of accomplishment and a sense of fulfillment. So last week, Windows XP SP3 has mobilized all the nerves of the user, evoking the unlimited passion of the user!

However, when the performance of Windows XP SP3 is not as expected, users tend to quickly turn into "unhappy" by expectation. Although users have made clear that Windows XP SP3 is a "service pack" early on, it is unlikely to bring fascinating new features to Windows XP, but Windows XP SP3 simply does not allow users to intuitively feel the service pack for Windows XP SP2. The update is still quite disappointing to some users.

Windows Media Player is still a zero version, IE browser stays in the 6.0 stage... No wonder some netizens shouted "Windows XP SP3 is just a patch set" of "after using".

Disappointment stems from hope, everything has to look ahead:

As the third "service pack" for Windows XP, Windows XP SP3 has the fate and mission of "patch set". . In this regard, users are well aware, and naturally will not force Microsoft to introduce "innovative" functions for Windows XP through SP3. However, we also have to admit that users have unrealistic expectations for Windows XP SP3... The expectation of "daydreaming" for Microsoft and Windows XP SP3 is actually due to users' Windows XP. Love.

Nostalgic users believe with confidence that the introduction of Windows XP SP3 will help consolidate Windows XP's position in the Windows family and extend the time that Windows XP will eventually be replaced by Windows Vista. Therefore, nostalgic people have thought that Windows XP SP3 will become the lucky star of users because it is the savior of Windows XP; Windows XP SP3 will become the disaster of Microsoft's popular "new generation Windows operating system" because it is the nemesis of Windows Vista SP1.

However, Windows XP SP3 does not have the ability to complete the above "mission". Nostalgic users see the bleak prospects, how can they not be discouraged!

SP3: Microsoft's savior, nostalgic user's disaster

There are indications that nostalgic users should regard Windows XP SP3 as a disaster—because it is Microsoft's popularity of Windows Vista.

The impact of Windows XP SP3 is not comparable to Windows XP SP2. In 2004, Windows XP was still the star product of Microsoft. The Redmond software giant was determined to spend a lot of money to build SP2, the "most luxurious" service package in history. Even the iron fan princess lamented: When I saw the moonlight, I called people "sweet sweets". Now the newcomer is called "the cow lady" (the "Westward Journey" line). Should also accept the fact that "the waves of the Yangtze River push forward waves?"

The launch of Windows XP SP3, which has been around for seven years from Windows XP, is about four years away from the date Windows XP SP2 was released. For Windows XP, how many years can the operating system have a life cycle? For Windows, Windows XP "overage" service itself is a performance of Microsoft's poor innovation or even technology stagnation! Imagine how the Redmond software giant could revitalize Windows XP in the midst of Windows Vista, and let a "out of breath" Windows operating system continue to thrive?

Forget it! Let Windows XP go with the wind:

Nostalgia does not stop the trend of progress and the trend of progress. Windows XP SP3 can't change the fact that Windows XP lags behind Windows Vista. Do we still want to pin our hopes on Windows XP SP4?

Last week, Microsoft claimed that Windows XP SP3 was delayed because the user's urgent need for Windows Vista SP1 prompted Microsoft to tilt all resources to the latter. At the same time, the Redmond software giant also said that it is not Microsoft that does not want to continue to supply Windows XP after June 30 this year, but because users have no need for this operating system - therefore, Microsoft decided to Stop selling Windows XP after a month!

Forget it, forget it, let it go. Let Windows XP go with the wind, why should we stick to Windows XP and let Microsoft get cheaper and sell it, what is the wind?

I am gone, not like I am coming. I waved my sleeves and I didn't take a cloud. Windows XP, bye bye.
