:I played with the RC1, RC2, and installed the final release a few days
:ago. I got it from a torrent linked to from slashdot.org. The
:observations about component changes, etc I gleaned from various MS
:blogs and .NET Framework 2.0/Longhorn info.

I saw a post on full-disclosure stating M$ did not produce any sort of sum
verification (i.e., md5) for the update; if this is true, how did you
verify the update you had was the one from M$?

Cheers,
Andrew
