Near-final Vista SP2 reaches testers, on track for mid-May release

Microsoft confirms new Windows build to select group, more info coming 'soon'

By Gregg Keizer February 20, 2009 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. has wrapped up work on a release candidate for Windows Vista Service Pack 2, according to reports on the Web, corroborating a schedule disclosed last month that slated final delivery of SP2 by mid-May. The company would only confirm that it recently notified some testers of a new build, but declined to say whether that was a release candidate, dubbed "RC" in software development parlance.

Vista SP2 RC's release was first reported yesterday by Ars Technica, which claimed that a group of invitation-only testers had been told of its availability via Windows Update, Microsoft's update service.

Late last month, the Malaysian Web site TechARP.com said that Vista SP2, the next major update to the problem-plagued operating system, was ready as a release candidate "escrow" build, and would make it to RC no later than today.
