Microsoft has just released the first Release Candidate, build 2096, for Windows XP Service Pack 2 to beta testers on its WindowsBeta web site.
Currently only the English build is available however the German and Japanese versions should follow shortly, giving the users who were left out in the 2082 interim release a new build to play with.
Integrated images are also not available yet but as stated above should be posted within a day or two, if not sooner.
The executable weighs in at 273.32 MB.
For those not fortunate enough to be in the actual beta program Microsoft will be releasing RC1 to a larger audience very soon as part of the Technical Preview Program. We"ll let you know when this option becomes available.
