Microsoft confirmed Wednesday that it delayed the rollout of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) because changes to the operating system can corrupt data in the company's retail point-of-sale and store management software.
The company has also suspended automatic distribution of Vista SP1 as well as XP SP3. "Yes, we are temporarily holding any additional automatic distribution of Windows Vista SP1" said a spokeswoman.
Tuesday, Microsoft postponed the expected release of XP SP3 because of what it called a "compatibility issue" between the OS and Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS), point-of-sale and store management software designed for small and midsize retailers. When it announced the service pack's delay, however, Microsoft did not spell out the specifics of the bug.
