147277 2003-05-25 03:05:00 I've got the Beta 2 Kit here. Last time I was playing around with it, it seemed quite nice. Not sure when it will be released. Probably when they've got the bugs down to what they're happy with. -=JM=- (16)
147278 2003-05-25 03:29:00 how ya get ur hands on that?
and isnt it silly to get something thats full of bugs?
or does it mean...u can install the beta kit and just use windows update 2 fix it?

147279 2003-05-25 03:44:00 I signed up with Microsoft to be a beta tester for it. It's not installed on my main computer. Plus they're only bugs.

You can't just update it to the latest through windows updates.

I would rather have a free BETA copy than a finished product full of bugs which is pretty much the norm with MS products :D

147281 2003-05-25 07:28:00 I have a beta copy as well which I use all the time. Have found one or two bugs but nothing serious.

How did I get it? Signed up for the beta program and they sent it to me via airmail from the USA. Came with about 14 CD's which included all sorts including Windows Server 2003.

Really nice to play with on a boring day.

147283 2003-05-25 09:17:00 Nope didn't cost a cent :D Just the usual passport (MS type) and signing away your life.

eg. Just a matter of giving them your address and clicking "yes" to the text.
