content: Yeah I'm not entirely sure why the author decides to call this "Service Pack 3". Maybe he's trying to make a point that SP2 should have been out already and at this point we should be receiving SP3, but I think making that point is largely unnecessary. You're probably correct that MS won't be putting out some thing called a "Service Pack". As Woody Leonhard mentioned this has historically forced MS to extend support, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got a monthly rollup with all the updates that have been put out since SP1 included. This would partially explain why we haven't seen any monthly updates in the past couple of months.
