Using Release Candidate

[Bernard Liengme]

I have 4 computers but I live in a rural area so I have only dialup
Internet.
It could take too long to use automatic update or to download the full
version of SP2.
Microsoft sent me Release Candidate 2 (Build 2149). Is this a good plan:
Install Release Candidate on the 4 PC, then use automatic update in the hope
that the amount to download will be small.

Thanks for input

Hang in there a bit longer.

The SP2 CD should be available for ordering pretty soon. Here's the web
page:

Good advice. Updating the RC is still a large download.
