Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 is out, available now to the company's major customers, and to everybody else from Thursday. It currently being Wednesday, and Microsoft's record on dispensing service packs in an orderly and controlled manner being what it is, you will be entirely unsurprised that you can currently download it anyway, here.

INDEED FINALLY!!!

its time to CELEBRATE!!! W00T!!

(i hope)

YEAH BABY, its finally here = )

It is nothing new that SP3 is available for download before the web pages have been updated.
This was the case with all the WinNT SP's as well as SP1 & SP2 for Win2k.
It would be crazy to have the links available before the files were situated on the FTP server.
The webmasters need to make sure they are linking to the correct places and to make sure all is working before they publish the new pages.

It has nothing to with uncontrolled distribution, it's both sensible and the correct way of doing things.
