XP x64 RC2 on MSDN?

[AppStar]

Anyone know when XP x64 RC2 will be posted on MSDN?

Great.. just moments after my initial post it's now on the MSDN site! In a weird spot though.. good think I kinda had a hunch. It's not under Platforms > Windows XP > Windows XP Professional > 64-Bit x64 Edition Systems like RC1 is (yet).
It's under Platforms > Windows Server 2003 > Windows Server 2003 Prerelease (Beta) Versions > 64-Bit x64 Editions > Windows XP Professional x64 Edition - RC2.

It's the same code as 2003 server (they are built together), looks like (as you noticed) they need to mirror it at the other place also.

I don't see how to get there

Yes... that's why I had a hunch they might put it there. Anyhow, does anyone have a list of what is new & fixed in RC2 compared to RC1? I've been running RC1 and it's been great thus far.

can you give me a link to it? I don't see any platforms link to click on msdn.com

You must be an MSDN Subscriber

You can also try to become a beta tester

Actually you don't have to be MSDN subscriber for RC2.

Just fill out the form and you can download it immediately. No purchase of CD required.

I've downloaded and got my key. Just cannot get it to install on my new DFI NF4 Ultra.

I just realized that link maybe for RC1. <smile> Well at least there is hope the RC2 will work with my board.

Yea, at the time of the post RC2 was not up on the x64 evaluation... believe me I looked everywhere ;-)
