Before we break for the Holidays we would like to offer you another release of the Windows Security Update CD. We have posted an RC2 ISO image to www.beta.microsoft.com <http://www.beta.microsoft.com>. However; this build will be available for download only. We will not be mailing out a CD. Directions for burning a CD from an ISO image can be found at www.beta.microsoft.com <http://www.beta.microsoft.com>. If you do not have the means to burn a CD we are unable to offer you another build at this time.

*When submitting a bug be sure to select RC2 on the bug form.

We ask that if you have time over the holiday that you download and test this RC 2 release. Please keep in mind that support will be very limited over the next few weeks as most of us are out of the office for the Christmas and New Years Holidays.

Happy Holidays & Happy Testing
