Winxp Sp2 Rc2 NOT Leaked

News early this week that Microsoft are trying to iron out a bug with NX CPU execution protection technology only spelled bad news. We can confirm that RC2 isn't likely to be released to beta testers until early next week. 2138 is the latest compile internally but doesn't hold the golden rc2 tagging yet.

This only points to 2139/2140 being the RC2 build and going out to testers within a week. Initially Microsoft were aiming for a June RTM for Windows XP SP2 but delays with security center bugs and application compatability problems have delayed the highly anticipated update until July. Because of this, development of Longhorn is almost at a standstill whilst the main build team focus on XPSP2 instead of Longhorn. Many developers internally are itching to get back to Longhorn development naturally. According to internal sources 2137(xpsp.040520-1754) was the build that the NX problems have come from

Microsoft is working into the night on the release candidate 2 of Windows XP service pack 2. Current builds stand at 2142, a steady 22 builds on from the current 2120 build that beta testers have access to. The latest build (2142) was compiled on Friday 28th May at 12:19AM meaning Microsoft are now working overtime in order to get SP2 ready in time. RC2 has slipped from the original predicted internal date of 26th May to as late as 7th June.

For those interested in build dates and numbers:

2138 (xpsp.040522-1636)
2139 (xpsp.040524-1730)
2140 (xpsp.040525-1946)
2141 (xpsp.040526-1840)
2142 (xpsp.040528-0019)

We're hoping to see RC2 get compiled this week with a release on or after the 7th June, if RC2 gets compiled early this week then beta testers may well see the long awaited update at the end of the week. Either way there's a lot of testing to be done to ensure that any problems with RC2 are reported and that all is well for the release to manufacturing (RTM) in mid-July.
