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."

Personally, I find it irritating that something like SP3 has to be tested at all. As I understand it, SP3 is essentially a collection of updates that have been available anyway for some time and thus have been used and tested extensively before. (Via Windows Update, c't Offline Update or whatever.)
There shouldn't be notable bugs anymore. Or have I missed something?
