Because Microsoft is delaying the public channel release for some odd reason (maybe because it makes Vista look even ****tier). The 29th was the date Microsoft was supposed to release to the public but instead its looking like they only released to the OEM channel.
This exact download (SP3 Final/RTM) has actually been out since the 26th for Corporate and MSDN/Technet users. I could have posted it then but i waited till i got verification that this was in fact the real deal and not a beta.
I also have upgraded to SP3 and i recommend everybody else does too. It definitely feels smoother and faster and i got a slight FPS improvement in a few games.
