The SP2 Thread - Reloaded

[NetGX]

I think the next build will be Release Candidate 1 or maybe a refresh then RC1

agreed :yes: any idea on the timeframe we are looking at

[scumdogmillionaire]

i bet we'll see rc1 / rc2 both in april then rtm in may

Actually RC1 is out now. As I suspected it was going to go RC this week.

I have a feeling that by the first half of April we're going to RTM and the download will be available to end users by the end of April. :shifty:

:turned:

[versiondub]

Does anyone know the location of a changelog for RC1? I want to see what's new on it.

[sh4ners]

did i read you can delete the TABLETPC dir? or something like that?

i dont know maybe it was just me but i swear i read it some place where

it takes up space unless you are install it on a tablepc

[briangw]

Is the Remote Desktop concurrent sessions enabled for this? Or is it another registry change?

[lardiop Veteran]

Installing the RC1 right now... its much smaller than the 2082 build.

They will be releasing the RC1 to everyone to download on Friday I've heard...

[bLiZZaRd1284]

Is there an express installer for it

[tomwarren Veteran]

There's never usually an RC2 for SPs. Looks like it will RTM mid to end of April for a Web release in May :)

[lardiop Veteran]

Im still not going to post the d/l link to the network install till some mod says "okie/nokie"

Better safe then banned/warned :yes:

...but seriously... if you cant find a link on your own, I think you shouldn't be installing beta builds of service packs in the first place! :yes:

[Kilgore Trout]

Hey folks, after being a lurker for many months, I've gone ahead and registered.........I've been reading this thread with great interest. I've been following the beta test and I was wondering if any of the official testers found a bug with msinfo32.exe? It seems to open help and support now. Is this by design, or a bug?

[mechandler34]

I've installed the RC1, anyone have a uxtheme.dll for it yet? :p
