Windows XP x86 2008-08-12 6836 windows-xp-x86-enu.ulz
was the Update List for Windows XP (x86) with SP3? .

When I first came across this file too, I didn't know that it contained the SP3 fixes.
Also when one tries to download all the XP (SP2) fixes, I got three files that weren't
on the server. It gave a popup message to "skip"; however, I don't know if a log/report
file is written that tells me what downloaded by filename vs what filenames were skipped.
Is it possible to save the downloaded file to the HDD with the original date it came out vs.
todays date? This will be helpful to sort files based on oldest to latest dates for the filenames
and apply them based on this order for a given year.
@jcarle please rename this filename with (SP3) as was done for the ulz filename which
contains (SP2). This will eliminate alot of confusion that this file pertains to SP3 without
having to install the ulz file and look at the contents.
Moreover, the ulz for SP2 hasn't been updated since around 4/2008 with all the patches.
Please include in these files fixes besides security/hotfixes. The fixes I'm thinking about
are things like the Aug 2008 update for timezone, and fixes that improve the realiability
of Windows or Office tools (i.e. the USB update) and fixes one needs to get by calling MSoft. Note: this
will require a windowsupdate tool update which allow one to automatically login to websites
that can provide these fixes. see www.thehotfixshare.net. If one has a username/password
to this site, (or could rely on one setting a cookie from this site) to automatically login and
download the fix.
Other fixes are the rootcertifcate update, WPA updates, font updates (i.e. VistA and EU (european union)
fonts that will install on XP too), consolas and new cleartype fonts, MSI installers such as v3.1 for (win2k)
and the new one v4.5 for VISTA and XP, new Support and Deploy tools, RDP client, Web RDP client,
etc.
Note: need to distinquish the various downloads for XP home vs. Pro since not everything that is downloaded
applies to Home. i.e MUI and support/deploy tools on a per service pack version #. The same applies
to Win 2K vs Win 2K Pro. , also Vista Home thru Ultimate.
Office 2k3 needs SP3. Also need patches and SP's to Visio, Project, etc that aren't part of the O2k3 distribution.
As a side note, there were updates to the Office product viewers too if one didn't have the actual office product
installed. Need the o2k7 office file compatibility pack too.
Need Office 2k7 Home thru Ultimate/Biz which may be different.
Same applies to Viso, Project etc. for o2k7 like o2k3.
Need Dotnet v3.5 downloads added to the list along with DirectX links to 9.0c and monthly updates.
Also there was a fix that came out for the audio layer a few years back, which I forget the details right now.
(uaa???)
Did I miss anything????
