Windows XP RC1 ude nu.

Det lader til at Microsoft's nye Windows XP RC1 blev smidt på nettet i går, ved en kæmpe fejltagelse fra Conxion. Alle og enhver kunne logge ind og downloade det nye styresystem.
Her er hvad The Register skriver:
The instant Microsoft releases a new build of the WinXP beta it gets warezed all over the web - this is well-known, and has been well-documented. But RC1 code available to all and sundry on a high-speed Microsoft download partner connection? That's original, isn't it?
At time of writing (afternoon UK time, 4th July) WinXP RC1 code was available as a download from Conxion, without any kind of password protection or validation. The Register's sources indicate that it's been possible to get the code from there since at least last night, and chatter on various bulletin boards suggests that information on how to download it has been slowly spreading for rather more than 24 hours.
Yesterday happy downloaders were claiming speeds of 110, even 215kbps, but alas, The Register's budget DSL line only seems capable of around 47kbps, so verification took us a couple of hours. The file is wxp_pro_rc1.iso, and is a beefy 501 megs. It was created on 29th June, and presumably it's up on Conxion for the convenience of major Microsoft partners and customers - as was the case a couple of months back when people started stumbling across Win2k Service Pack 2 on Conxion prior to Microsoft's actually announcing it.
When the .iso is unpacked it's clear that this is indeed the genuine WinXP Pro RC1, client edition. It may well be that it's been put up there in preparation for more widespread distribution of the RC1 beta, in which case Microsoft is now likely in a tricky position. If itdoes intend to make the code generally available via Conxion, then it's not really going to be able to take it down.
On the other hand, if it simply wants the code up there for customers and special friends, it's going to have to take it down before the ever-widening ripples in the warez world turn into a full-scale gold-rush.
