In a move a little like Lucy pulling the ball out of the path of
Charlie Brown's lunging foot at the last moment, Microsoft (NASDAQ:
MSFT) withdrew plans to make Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) publicly
available today.

The reason? The company ran into compatibility issues with Windows XP
customers who also run Microsoft's Dynamics Retail Management System
(RMS), a software package for running retail stores.

actually, it was because Yahoo refused to marry Microsnot. End of Story.
