winxp beta2 stuff from win2000mag.com....

"Regarding last week's release of Windows XP Beta 2, Microsoft discovered
a Priority-1 bug in build 2462 approximately 70 percent of the way into
Wednesday's Beta 2 sign-off process. The company was forced to bump the
build number to 2462a and delay the release of Beta 2 until Friday. And,
although Beta 2 was indeed declared final Friday, the company didn't
release it to testers until noon Pacific time on Sunday. The delay was
rather confusing--and certainly unanticipated--and those members of the
technical press that had signed nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) for
Windows XP were forced to hold off until then to post any reviews or
other information about the release.

Thus, the SuperSite for Windows wasn't officially updated with Windows
XP Beta 2 information until Sunday (we inadvertently posted our
information on Wednesday but quickly pulled it when it became clear that
Beta 2 had been delayed). So--if you were checking the site last week, I
apologize: We have to work within Microsoft's ground rules--although I
can't even begin to understand the logic behind the 2-day hold. Anyway,
the SuperSite is now up and running with Windows XP Beta 2 coverage, so
please check it out."
