    So this is the candidate for the preview release for the final release? What is this called? Release Candidate Candidate?

      I agree. We should move to SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, SP5, and maybe SP6 instead of RC1 and RC2. These SP releases convey a stronger message to the consumer that "their problems are our #1 goal" than such driveling things like RC1 and RC2 that they will never download and use. Why wait for a well-tested release when you can always service pack your problems away!

    "Hunt down updates"?

    You can just use the Tools->Extensions->Update feature.

    "unprecedented grassroots campaign"

    Read this as "we'll be posting announcements on Slashdot every day for the next month"...
