（CNET09/30美西报道）微软披露其Windows XP SP3计划。

微软法国技术及安全总监Bernard Ourghanlian承认：“微软的确会为Windows XP推出升级包SP3。”这将是微软操作系统的又一重大升级行动。

Windows XP SP2是于去年9月推出的，主要从安全方面对系统作了全面升级。

Windows XP的第3个升级包，即SP3，预计将于明年Windows Vista发布之后，才会推出。据微软法国透露，这种时间上的考量，主要是为了顺应当前开发所面临的首要任务，即Vista的发布期。

微软至今尚未透露XP SP3的具体内容。但效力微软法国的Laurent Delaporte指出：“从历史经验来看，一般规律是，下一代Windows操作系统中的许多新功能，都会被添加到这一版的SP中。”

Microsoft has revealed plans to release a third service pack for its Windows XP operating system.

"There will be a Service Pack 3 for Windows XP," Bernard Ourghanlian, technical and security director at Microsoft France, confirmed, revealing that Microsoft's OS is set for another major update.

Windows XP's Service Pack 2, which came out last September, deeply modified the operating system by updating its security.

Windows XP SP3 will be available sometime next year--after the launch of Windows Vista, which "is the priority for the development teams," according to Microsoft France.

Microsoft has yet to reveal details about the contents of the service pack. Laurent Delaporte of Microsoft France said: "Historically, certain functions of new versions of Windows are integrated in the service packs of previous versions."
