Windows 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."

Code or build?

The computerworld article is a little confusing to me: "Microsoft ships new XP SP3 code to testers"
and then a sudden "seeded another build of Windows XP SP3 to a closed set of testers"

I don't suppose that Microsoft will show its code even to a "closed set of testers" ("some 15,000"), unless the company wants to see it on the torrent trackers ;-)
