Neowin.net reports that due to an error on the Microsoft pages they have let the URL slip for the North American location to the Release To Web (RTW) version of IE6.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Which might indicate that that is the final build number and that a release is imminent. IE6 is well over a year old now and SP1 will be a welcome upgrade for the users having to "patch-up" from clean installs of WinXP (for example) in just one year Windows Update already offers 55MB of recommended & critical updates. Those Service Packs come in handy with their including of all the hot-fixes you need into one package.



For more info and the URL address warp 2 ... Neowin.net

#37816 Posted on: 08/04/2002 09:28 PM I know, and it is an interim build. When SP1 is finished, it will be an even later build than 1086, let alone 1082.
