Do you not know what "Beta" infers about the service pack?
It is not full release. You have a version of windows installed now that is
unsupported.

weeks for the real usable ready for prime time SP3

Service pack 3 Release Candidate 2 is now out. You have to uninstall Release
Candidate 1 before installing Release Candidate 2. (According to Microsoft's
tech net newsletter). If you still ahvfe original service pack 2, and didn"t
install release 1, then Windows update will update you to release candidate
2.
