I'm still not going to install it until Sept. or Oct. as there will no doubt be some software compatabilites that will have to be worked out. :rolleyes:
 
The RTM will be ready by the next week; Gold should hit the 'streets' by 2nd week of August (probably the 1st week's end).

No, it's not beta... it's a shot with download links from the official MS beta testers site, you need your own login or .net passport to get stuff from there.

If anyone wants an official mirror then here it is:- http://neowin.net/comments.php?id=23138Took me all day to d/l SP2 from the neowin mirror but got there in end.

For those of you who want to slipstream SP2 into your Windows CD I came across a great little FREE tool earlier from the makers of Autopatcher XP, for some reason it's not yet on the Autopatcher site but I have a direct d/l link which is:- http://mhtools.knoware.nl/raptor/autostreamer/AutoStreamer.zip

I've done my XP Home & Pro discs so far and it is superb kit that makes it childsplay! Here's a screenshot of the Gui below:-









This also works on Windows 2000 & 2003 too! :cool:
