Microsoft has released SP2 RC build for Windows Vista and Server 2008. A few selected testers have been e-mailed by Microsoft about this latest build.

The build number is 6002.16670.090130-1715 and is very close to RTM version which is expected to be released in April or May this year.

The build can be downloaded via Windows Update using a small registry script or as a standalone installer or slipstreamed ISO.

The ISO version is available in 5 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese.

The build doesn't support upgrade from previous SP2 build, so you'll need to uninstall any previous build of SP2 before installing this RC build.

RC build can be uninstalled from "Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> View Installed Updates".
