Today is the second Tuesday of the month and I got gobs of Vista and Office
updates on my Vista system; however, I was offered no XP updates other than
XP SP-3.

I had chosen not to install XP SP-3 before. Sooooo... does that mean I will
be offered no other critical updates if I don't install SP-3? Did anyone
using XP Pro get update offerings today? Thanks.

No updates for me either. One machine has SP3 and no updates for it yet
either.

There are a few updates for Windows XP:

What is in your log? C:\WINDOWS\WindowsUpdate.log
Perhaps Windows Update server is too busy to process your request. Check
again later.

Be patient. I was offered Updates at home for XP SP3, I clicked to download
and didn't see the icon again. Obviously I'm in a queque. At work, no
notificationation at all - WinXP SP2. The servers are usually regulated and
eventually you'll get the updates.

To see what is being offered -

Thanks to all for the replies. I'll just keep waiting. I just hope that
NOT accepting SP-3 will not affect other critical updates.
