Any factual "Rumors" on upcoming Windows 2003 SP due for release in 2005?

I have started to hear rumbling from various sources about an upcoming
Service Pack for Windows 2003 Server versions, similar to the recent Windows
XP-Pro client SP2 release. The information is sketchy and contradictory, in
some cases, from source to source.

What have you heard? What do you know?...and when did you know it? This
commission will not disband until all the facts are uncovered (or until the
funding runs out). ;)

It's been in beta for a while now and I've seen downloads for it but I never
bothered trying it out.

The first Service Pack for W2K3 is expected Q1 next year, they are readying
the beta for testers right about now. SP1 has new security features and of
course all known bug fixes.

Anybody who *really* knows can't and won't post it here.
