Microsoft Learns From Itself

Microsoft has delayed the release of the Windows XP Service Pack 3 indefinitely and Microsoft deserves a little credit for doing so.

Microsoft Learns From Itself By Delaying XP SP3

The third service pack was expected to be available to the consumers earlier this week, but that release has been suspended indefinitely due to flaws with Windows Dynamics Retail Management System.

Microsoft deserves some recognition, sarcastic or not, because this delay has proven that Microsoft is learning from its prior mistakes. Microsoft pushed Vista out the doors far too soon and has paid the price with a plethora of bad public relations, and now the software giant is making the right decisions ensuring that kind of a catastrophe doesn't happen again.

When SP3 is finally made available to the masses, it will hopefully come without a problem in the world, which will be a nicety for Microsoft, who has been known for not being able to handle software releases in the recent years.
