Where to find XP SP2 Beta

J

J.Marsch

Hello:
I work for an independent software vendor. I would really like to get in on
the XP SP2 beta program, so that we can get some advanced warning if the
changes in SP2 (which I hear are significant) will have a negative impact on
our application.

I've read a lot of press about the SP2 beta, but I haven't had much luck in
finding a legitimate download or beta enrollment. Can anyone give me show
me where I need to go?

Unless you were selected to participate in the SP2 beta program,
the only legitimate way to download SP2 beta is to become a
MSDN subscriber.

I have an MSDN Universal subscription. At the time that I posted, I did not
see an option (in subscriber downloads) to download SP2, only SP1. However,
today I see that option.

In fact, looking at the web page, it appears that it was posted just a few
hours after I looked for it (afternoon of Dec 19, I was looking morning of
Dec 19). Go figure!

Thanks for your help.
