beta 2

Hey...
I was wondering when / how the public who signed up for beta 2 will receive a download link / dvd / etc. I am getting impatient now, as i cannot find anything :D
Tom

You should receive a email from MS when it becomes available if you signed up for it. As for how, It has been stated it but I am not sure if it is fact but it should be available for Download and via ordering it on a DVD.

Kevin, there is no Beta 2. There will only be an April CTP, and further CTP's in the future until we hit RC0 stage then things are slightly different.

Can you post a reliable source for this? Neowin and others are not reliable sources, give a Microsoft source.

Is this confirmed that there will be a MSDN CTP release before beta 2? I have been waiting patiently... Beta 2 still seems a very long way off still, and 5308 is now very long in the tooth.

But if you're lucky they're may be :o) Pretty sure that the April CTP will be offered out to a wider audience, but not necessarily the public yet.

MSDN Subscribers would be fine :-)

Jupiter,

Can you post a reliable source for this? Neowin and others are not reliable sources, give a Microsoft source.

The Windows Vista Win/FX evangelist came to demo at my company a week ago and said the April CTP would be available for download "sometime in April." I didn't get any more detail than that so I am waiting like the rest of y'all.

In theory, any CTP that has a month involved in the name will *generally* be released within that specific month :oP ie. October CTP - released 14th October February CTP - released 22nd February
and so on ;o)

It was noted by a Microsoft employee today that the next release will be BETA 2, no guarantees of a interim build but they are trying. Also, BETA 2 will be coming in the second quarter, that means it could be April, but to me its like May or sometime in June. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

I did not say that, I said it will not be explicitly known as BETA 2, it will be desguised by a CTP. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Hey...
I was wondering when / how the public who signed up for beta 2 will receive a download link / dvd / etc. I am getting impatient now, as i cannot find anything :D
Tom

Tried to sign up for this at the MS web site as I honestly NEED it to familiarise myself with Vista ahead of my users and for the life of me get sent around in circles there. I am trying to sign up for Windows Vista Beta 2 and every time I try I end up at a new MS Office Beta which I am not particularly worried about at this point.
Anyone here able to reply with the signup URL for Windows Beta 2 for me please? No, I am not trying to do anything silly, nasty, illegal. I work for myself and got caught out when XP came out, not able to get my hands on a copy of it till the day after it came out, when I bought Home version. My office customers already had that in one company and I was floundering for a little while which is very embarrassing.
Thanks for any help.

It should be available to the public within weeks. I taake it you don't have MSDN.

Correct. I am not rich! :(
I am, however, a registered company (self employed only me in it) doing work for a fair lot of companies. At $35 an hour you tend not to get rich quickly....or at all to be honest!

Its best you wait then on the Public release available within the next 3 weeks. Vista is not gonna RTM anytime soon, so you will have enough time to get a head start before a lot of persons. You can start reading up articles and monitor the ngs here which is a great resource of information for Vista. -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Diamontina Cocktail" wrote in message
