[Is this a record for MS?]

Considering the oem version of Windows ME was leaked before RTM was even confirmed, how have MS managed to keep XP under lock and key for so long?

Also, bearing in mind that the evaluation copy available to beta testers has unique coding making it possible to track leaked copies back to the actual beta tester, does anybody expect MS to have come up with some last minute 'surprise' in relation to wpa?

Big kudos to the first person who can provide a pointer to the actual download.

Even bigger kudos to the first person who can provide a fix for the WPA (oh how a vlk would be nice).
