Will there ever be a Windows XP SP3?

Every now and then talk about a possible Service Pack 3 for Windows XP resurfaces. Microsoft just updated its Windows Service Pack Road Map site. This site indicates that there will be no new service pack for Windows XP until the year 2008, if then. It had originally been scheduled for the second half of 2007. Mary Jo Foley comments:

There’s no doubt that some (many?) Microsoft customers will see the latest slip as a less-than-subtle attempt by Microsoft to force them to upgrade to the latest versions of Windows that are coming down the pike.
