MS Beta AntiSpyware

[Jan]

When I downloaded and installed this Spyware I was
advised that MS will be naking available an updated
version in late May. We are now in the first week of
June and I have not seen an updated version - or have I
missed it?
Does anyone know what the status is?

Microsoft has never mentioned dates in relation to this product.

Here's my current understanding: At some point between now and July 31'st,
Microsoft will provide an update of some kind (unclear whether this will be
a new download or what)--which will extend the expiration date.

My bet would be on a new download.

At some later date there will be a beta2 release, and sometime after that
will be a final release.

Thanks to Steve Dodson the near future is now more clear ;-)

"I would say that the expiration issue will be resolved fairly soon as we
will push forward the timebomb. We are in the final test pass on the next
release and as soon as we have finished the testing, it will be broadly
announced. The next version should put a dent in reducing the following
major issues:

1) July 31 Timebomb
2) LSP breaking.
3) Flying toasts when start bar is docked on the side.

I am real excited that these items will be fixed soon so we can focus on
finalizing beta 2.
