Windows XP SP3 update hit with compatibility delay
Microsoft found a compatibility problem between Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System and an electronic
checkout system for small- and mid-sized retailers, for both Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1.
What is Dynamics RMS?
It's software that enables specialty retailers to handle cash register functions, process payments, and automate purchasing, inventory and other back-end processes, said Michael Griffiths, the group product manager for the retail part of the Dynamics business.
There has been series of delays, this update was to be released in 2006 and it got delayed upto 2007 and now its again being delayed ! surprising !
According to a post on Microsoft's Windows XP SP3 forum by Chris Keroack, release manager for Windows serviceability, the delay is in place to "make sure customers have the best possible experience".
Chris says "We are also testing a fix, and will make it available once that process is complete". They are testing this since the first release delay in 2006.
I don't understand the essence of the given comment. What do they mean by "make sure customers have the best possible experience" , is it by delaying the updates and making people wait desperately for the XP and Vista updates !
