From a CNET article, it talks about a review of XP SP1 BETA.


Does anyone using XP have an idea whether it's released?

It's not on Windows Update.

It's a Service Pack (SP) and from what I've heard its big. Its supposed to have some critical fixes and patches as well.

It will be available through Windows Update when the final version is released. However, if you are using one of the serials that leaked (FCKGW-RHQQ2..) than you will not be able to obtain the Service Package. Normally takes 6 months for the first SP to be released for a new OS.
