- I love some of the related news this site comes up with, for example "Windows XP SP3 to arrive before Longhorn"

- Installed. The build number 3311 no longer shows in winver. Seems to run just fine although can't say I noticed any problems with previous build.

- RC2 is released so RTM is arriving shortly after that. This seems to be the pattern. I can't wait for the final RTM.

- If this is a RC2 refresh, it's most likely the escrow build. Basically, if no major bugs are found in the next few weeks, it's the final build.
