Following the announcement earlier this week that Vista Service Pack 1 had been shipped to manufacturing, Microsoft today confirmed that it seeded another build of Windows XP SP3 to a closed set of testers. "Yesterday, we released Windows XP SP3 RC 2 to private beta testers," a Microsoft spokeswoman said in an e-mail. "This release catches the build up on previously released hot fixes and responds to critical feedback from previous betas."

I mean reading from the article is it not a good thing that Microsoft is stepping up its quality and making sure that the SP1 for Vista when it gets released does not have any of the aforementioned driver related issues? One would think that it is better for the company releasing a fix make sure it all works than send it out in a hurry and then the end user will have to suffer through fixing all the problems. People sometimes do not make sense to me at all. Big deal you have to wait a month...in the mean time go out get some beers meet some girls and enjoy life! OS is not the end of the world!
