Not that I'm an expert in how Microsoft's minds work, but I'd be
surprised if the 'fix' is included in SP3. Assuming that the only
resolution is to hide the Vista partition from XP this could have major
consequences for some (e.g. what if XP is currently set to share
document folders currently held on the Vista partition?).
