Microsoft delivers Vista SP2 RC to testers, reports say

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Microsoft has delivered a preliminary release candidate for Windows Vista Service Pack 2 to testers and is again on track to offer another public preview next month, according to several reports on the Web.

Previously, TechARP had said Vista SP2 would reach RTM -- a milestone at which the service pack is officially finished, and sent to computer makers and duplicators for retail copies -- as late as June.

Vista SP2 will be released for download from the Web at an undetermined date after Microsoft slaps the RTM label on the service pack. In the past, Microsoft has waited to post service packs anywhere from just two weeks after RTM to more than six weeks after.
