"I asked Microsoft for an official comment on Thurrott's XP SP3 post and received the following response: "SP3 for Windows XP Home Edition [and Professional] is currently planned for 1H CY2008. This date is preliminary," said a Microsoft spokeswoman. In other words: at least for now, Microsoft is sticking by the XP SP3 information on its product-lifecycle page."

I knew that entire story was unsubstantiated crap.
It's not crap until its actually released, given how long it has actually been delayed. Microsoft has had a habit of having things on product roadmaps, only to turn around later and say "After extensive customer feedback we realised that a further service pack was not necessary, and it technically wasn't possible to roll all the fixes we had planned for Vista into Windows XP".
They pulled that stunt with Windows 2000, where they came up with totally unspecified technical reasons as to why they couldn't provide reasonable updates for it.
Thurrot was spot on. I'll believe it when I see it.
