It looks like you are wrong Alan, 10th June is the day. http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/7740/print
"Microsoft Corp. will release Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) to computer makers and some IT professionals next week, and it will offer it to all users via Windows Update April 29, two weeks from today, according to an internal schedule obtained by the Neowin.net Web site ... the service pack will debut April 21, when it's shipped to computer manufacturers, offered to volume licensing customers and posted for download on TechNet and the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), which are subscription services for IT staff and developers, respectively. Most users, however, will first be able to obtain SP3 on April 29, when Microsoft lists it on Windows Update (WU) for download. However, Microsoft won't turn on the automatic download and installation of SP3 until June 10." The autoupdate will only download the required updates and evidently if you are up to date with patches the actual SP wil only download 70Mb as opposed to the full 346Mb. Tough luck if you have SP1 and a dial up connection then!
