Thanks John for this..
The Microsoft Windows Sustained Engineering Team would like to invite you to participate in our beta program for the Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package (SRP). The SRP is a security rollup package which contains various security fixes that have been released since Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 shipped in May of this year. This package allows customers to apply multiple security fixes by applying a single Hotfix. The Windows 2000 SRP is being produced as part of the Microsoft Strategic Technology Protection Program (STPP) and will be released on a bi-monthly basis.

In response to inquiries, Mark Croft, a product manager for Windows XP, issued the following statement, "Many testers qualified to receive a complimentary boxed product of Windows XP. The shipments to qualified beta sites have been delayed due to the high demand of Windows XP in the retail sector. We have been assured by manufacturing that the Windows XP Professional and home shipments should begin by early December. You should receive your free boxed product by the end of December. We apologize for the delay and hope that you will enjoy your complimentary boxed product when it arrives."

Microsoft claims that it will soon begin the task of contacting testers which number in the tens of thousands.

Windows XP was released to manufacturing on August 24, and was officially launched through a broad range of channels on October 25. Testers received 120 day evaluative copies shortly after the OS went gold.
