Please also note that the SP2 RC2 is NOT offered on Windows Update to anyone
who has not already installed a later build of SP2 that moves you to the
version 5 Windows Update site.
If you are running SP2 RC builds place direct your questions a postings
related to this to the appropriate newsgroups for SP2 RC support.
