Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released updates for the operating system. This update also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers' experience with the operating system. This white paper summarizes what is new in Windows XP SP3.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
that makes me happy. does it include the speed boost that it lauded so much over vista's sp1?
might have to reboot over to my windoze partition..
inb4 vista haters aka noobs who know nothing about technology
I will just say that Vista is too much of a resource whore and requires too much clicking to accomplish menial tasks by default compared to XP.
Oh yea, and when does this come out?
I bet their will be a sh!t load of bugs with this as with all M$ products but why release it when your kicking XP to the curb anyways in a few months.
i ran xp since it first came out, gathering service packs hotfixes and updates along the way. it truly was the next step in in the evolution of the modern OS. i had just bought a new desktop at couple years prior and it was pre-loaded with Windows ME. it kind of let me down in many ways, one was the 9x series inherent memory problems and poor user-level support. there wasn't much i could do to make the pc perform better. So, when xp came out I installed it on that system and basically took the first step into the next gen, an experience i'll never forget. i saw basically everything about my desktop such as performance and reliability increase substancially, and in many cases found more use out of that desktop than before I had installed xp. i was 16 and the pc world suddenly became very interesting to me.
when the time came to get vista, i didn't hesitate. i longed for the same kind of feeling i had when i first booted up xp. i didnt get in on the beta, however i managed to get Vista RC-1. it was another leap forward, i must say. but the direction they've been taking has always caused people to buy a whole new desktop just to take advantage of the new features. actually, just to get acceptable performance you'd end up spending more money.
to summarize, i could live without vista. but xp, THAT i couldn't live without. i've got it preinstalled on my new laptop, and have tried to get xp back again. but it doesn't even see my hdds, so i have to work around it somehow.
