Why do you ask?

Being a pre-release product (Windows XP SP3 RC2) - there really
is not a direct support option available. You have a few options,
however:

Start here:

Which can lead you:

and the forums set up specifically for the pre-release product:

And of course:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2b2-aab1-b969a62c68a7&DisplayLang=en#filelist

Where you can download it in different languages OR download a script that
sets a registry key on your system so you can get Windows XP SP3 Release
Candidate 2 from the Windows Update web page directly.

I do not recommend installing the pre-release (release candidate 2) on any
machine you are not willing to rebuild from scratch.

Hope that helps!
