Confused again over SP2

Hi

According to http://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall XPe SP2 has been released.
However the link supplied takes you to the standard MS download web site,
and it states that this is for building images with 120 day functionality.

Does anyone, who is allowed to say :-) know the score, and if this is the
'real' version?

Its not on the secure site however which makes me worry about using it.
Either that or MS like to release to the general public before the OEM's.

If you try to download and install the evaluation version, and you've
previously had a licensed XPe SP1 on your PC, a message box appears telling
you that you must go to https://microsoft.embeddedoem.com to download the
full version of XPe SP2. I've had a look, and it doesn't appear to be there
yet. Hopefully it will appear at some point today, or if not, soon!

Hello:

Licensed OEM customers can find the full version of the product for download
on the OEM site.

Thanks!
