Microsoft tells me the company hopes to complete Windows XP Release Candidate 1 (RC1) by next Friday but that the July 4 holiday is the absolute drop-dead date. Yesterday morning, testers received build 2494, which will probably be the final interim build before RC1. The RC1 release, of course, will be feature complete. From here on out, it's all bug fixing, performance testing, and fine-tuning.
