Microsoft backports Windows Vista features on to new XP SP3 Beta

Many of us got excited when Microsoft launched their new operating system Windows Vista, but once we purchased our upgrade we were left disappointed so me like thousands of others went back to XP. I love my XP and thought that soon I will have to upgrade to that dreaded Vista, but Microsoft have given us XP users some great news and that is that they will be launching a SP Beta.

On this new Windows XP SP3 Build 3205 Microsoft seems to have backported some of the features form Vista itself. The new XP SP3 Beta has over a thousand hot fixes and patches; one of these is a new Windows Product Activation mode. Other key features include network access protection module, Kernel Mode Cryptographic Module. There are a range of other new features which we will slowly learn about in time, but one thing is certain, XP is not dead yet.
