Update: (May 12, 2003): MSXML 4.0 SP2 now available!
MSXML (Microsoft XML Core Services) 4.0 SP1 was released about a year ago (in March 2002), and since then no other Web release of the product has been posted or no other product included updates to this component. Recently, Office 2003 Beta 2 included MSXML 5.0.
Recently, similar question on "future of MSXML" was asked on microsoft.public.xml.msxml-webrelease newsgroup and one of the Microsoft employees replied saying:
MSXML 3.0 SP4 will ship with Microsoft Windows Server 2003
MSXML 3.0 SP5 will ship with Yukon (next release of SQL Server)
MSXML 4.0 SP2 will be available in spring 2003
MSXML 5.0 will first ship with Office 2003 Beta
MSXML 6.0 will be part of Longhorn slated for 2004
MSXML 6.0 will probably be the last release of MSXML component and Microsoft recommends using .NET Framework XML namespaces instead.
Here is a summary of changes found in MSXML 5.0 that ships with Office 2003 beta 2. Note that MSXML 5.0 shipped with Office 2003 Beta 2 – and we are not sure if it is available for free redistribution – and in addition, details might change in the final Office release. The details provided here are just for informational purpose.

Other ChangesThe ISAXXMLReader (and IVBSAXXMLReader) method parse is updated to have the varInput parameter as an optional parameter (instead of a required parameter).
