What's the difference between SP1 RC Refresh 2 and the full SP1?

Can anyone please list the most significant differences between SP1 RC
Refresh 2 and the soon to be released full SP1?

From what I have read, I cannot tell if there is actually any difference!

As it turns out, Vista SP1 RC Refresh 2 is the final,
Released-To-Manufacturing (RTM) version. Both
SP1 RC Refresh 2 and RTM are Build 18000.

If you installed SP1 RC 2, there is no need to uninstall it!

Carey,

Does this mean it will NOT time bomb in June?
I now have Vista SP1 as it says in ''winver"?
Thanks, BChat

The Vista SP1 RC Refresh (aka RTM) is not time
limited, nor does any message appear on the desktop.
Any SP1 beta build prior to SP1 RC Refresh will be time
limited.

Many thanks. That confirms my view that I already have SP1 - it's just
called RC Refresh 2
