Ward Ralston here – I, like John Borozan, am a Product Manager with Windows Server.
Some of you may have already heard that Window Server 2003 64-Bit Editions, Window Server 2003 SP1, and Windows XP Professional have all reached the Release Canidate Two (RC2) Milestone this afternoon.
Word on the street is that this RC2 is a great, stable build – I am installing it now on one of my office computers….
The x64 bits for client and x64 (RC1) are available through either the beta program or customer preview program:
