It's a Pre Final what you got is Windows XP Service Pack 3 Build 5508,
After installation the version number is no longer shown simply SP3.
QuoteMicrosoft still points to an availability date set by mid-2008, TechArp stated that the deadline for the RTM of XP SP3 is aimed for the second half of April when the company will release the service pack for the following languages Chinese (Simplified), English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. After the initial wave of XP SP3, the Redmond company, withing a timeframe of approximately 21 days, plans to offer the service pack in Arabic, Chinese (Hong Kong), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Swedish, and Turkish.

Pre Final version.
More info could be found here:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/What-Is-Microsoft-Really-Saying-with-XP-SP3-RC2-Refresh-Build-5508-81772.shtml
QuoteBuild 5508 is simply saying that Microsoft is not yet done with the testing process. Outside of the added HD Audio support and the tweaking of the Windows Update mechanism, the Redmond company is nothing short of mute. Still, from the last XP SP3 RC2 version dropped on March 6, namely Build 3311, Microsoft moved to the leaked 5503 variant in the same month. And despite jumping from Build 3311 all the way to 5503, the private build of XP SP3 was labeled an interim development milestone and nothing more. And on the heels of Build 5503, version 5508 comes knocking released only through Windows Update and not as a stand-alone package.

The initial rumors pointing to the availability of Windows XP SP3 earlier this week proved to be inaccurate. And judging strictly by the pace at which Microsoft has been crawling with the development of XP SP3 it seems that the company is waiting to get the full arsenal of Vista SP1 releases out the door before it ships its last service pack for XP. With Vista SP1 RTM scheduled for availability via Automatic Updates on April 18, it appears that XP SP3 will follow in the second half of the coming month.
