I think it is because they are added outboard blocking to the firewall and some other junk. It's odd to see microsoft seemingly taking their time over something though. |

has anyone here tried the RC2? |

I was going to but I decided against it and installed 2003 server pro instead on my spare machina. |

the fact that it's taking a while isn't really all that surprising. the way microsoft ties all of it's products together and all, they've got an awefull lot of bases to cover. especially since this is such a huge update. massive companies upgrading to find out that all of a sudden they can't share their powerpoint presentations on the local intranet anymore = disaster. |

I've got a copy, someone in work gave it to me :S |

I just think with the fact they are spending an extra 6-8 weeks on the service pack leads me to beleive the the RC should possibly be back to beta status. I'll just hang on for the final release I think. |

ahh.. so you installed it? did it break anything? |

i sometimes think microsoft sets release dates that they have no real expectation of meeting just so people will hold on longer. saying something like -oh well, it's only another 6 weeks, that's not bad- |

A friend has, he said he has put it on 5 different PCs of varying specs, and has had no problems so far. He gave me the CD, but now I'm a bit reluctant |

. It's odd to see microsoft seemingly taking their time over something though. that's sarcasm right? |

Well it's installed on this computer and I have the crack to do it if anyone wants it :) This is a beta release by the way. Very good though. |

i didn't think it needed to be cracked |

A lot of the problems are to do with the new V5 of the Windows Update. |
