    or purhaps its because some of the updates are still in the works.

    Anyway since when could you download Updates for .NET Framework?? well
    actualy I must say there was one http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=886903
    all the updates are may not be publicly avaliable to download.. but when a SP
    come out they sure are in those! so why cant I create a 'beta' SP??
