Microsoft delivers yet another updated XP SP3 RC 2 test build
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 25.3.2008
A day after I threw in my XP SP3 date-projection towel, Microsoft has released yet another new, public test build of its forthcoming collection of fixes and patches for Windows XP.
A company spokeswoman e-mailed the following update on March 25:
“Windows XP SP3 RC2 Refresh was made publicly available today via Microsoft Download Center. We’ve made this release candidate available in order to receive further user feedback prior to the release of Windows XP SP3.”
(Note: I don’t see the new RC2 refresh on Download Center yet. I guess it is on its way….)
Microsoft released the first of is RC2 builds in early February. Instead of calling the newest test build RC 3 (or 4 or whatever number we are really up to now), Microsoft is calling the build released Tuesday RC 2 Refresh.

deadlink the link does work, but you can't copy and paste??... just go to 'microsoft
download center' via google, then follow 'download details: windows xp sp3 rc2' on the
page there and it's good to go.
for vista migration ready and couple security patches in which windows auto update will
take care of them
why bother to keep installing all these rc's? whats the point. they still dont work
right.
absolutely right... they definitely still don't work right
