    the delay is down to a compatibility issue with Microsoft's Dynamics RMS software, which is used by small and medium-sized retailers to manage their business.
    The spokesperson declined to comment on when the service packs would be released again.
    Microsoft is in the process of implementing a filter which will prevent Dynamics RMS users from downloading the service packs while allowing all other users to update their PCs. The company is also testing a fix for the issue.


    Bit of a non-story then.

    Are you sure about that? XP3 isn't scheduled for auto update until June, and as for the update download centre, I still don't see it.
