Hey...

a download link / dvd / etc. I am getting impatient now, as i cannot find
anything :D

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.

Applied but still waiting to be accepted for the Vista Beta Testing group.
Can't wait to be able to play and help make it even better.

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 :blush:) Pretty sure that the April CTP will
be offered out to a wider audience, but not necessarily the public yet.

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 :blush:P
ie. October CTP - released 14th October
February CTP - released 22nd February

and so on ;o)

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.

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!
