My copy of XP never tasted so good.

This post made me search for XP SP3 and I found this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lif...vicepacks.mspx

There I could read this:
SP3 for Windows XP Home Edition is currently planned for 1H CY2008. This date is preliminary.

"1H CY2008" <- what does this mean?

That means fist half of (cy im guessing means church year, not to sure about that) 2008

Okay, thanks!

Just wasn't sure...
Isn't the normal way to write it is AD instead of CY ?
AD = Anno Domino (Year of the Lord)

I would have thought that 'CY' meant 'Calendar Year', much like 'FY' means 'Financial Year' or 'MY', when referring to vehicles, means 'Model Year'.

I wouldn't be surprised if SP3 for XP breaks something on XP which would force a user to consider buying Shista. I will wait it out a bit and see what I hear from SP3 users.
