Yup, but it is still an RC. Do not confuse that with a Release. Just beca=

tag is applied soes not mean it won't be moved. Feel free to add to this =

time Dirk!

You are giving false information asying that the KDE 3 has been released,=
 it=20
hasn't. I have seen these tags moved lots of times and it is not set ins=20
stone. But, it does give a reference point.

I am looking at my CD collection from when I participated in Microsnots=20
testing of Win2K. I surely remember more than one RC and some pretty majo=
r=20
changes between the candidates. and look, they actually released a pretty=
=20
decent product. The world didn't come to an end, to bad they went and scr=
ewed=20
it up with XP. Anyways, the purpose of a release cand. is to simulate an=20
actual release. You don't plan on second and third candidates you should =
be=20
at a point you are planning on an actual release so why tag an RC=20
differently?
