[chadfree] Windows Vista Beta 2 Shapes Up for May 23 Release at WinHEC


Windows Vista Beta 2 Shapes Up for May 23 Release at WinHEC

As I've previously reported, Microsoft had planned to ship a variant of 
Windows Vista build 5381 as Beta 2, the version that the company will 
be delivering to millions of consumers later this month. However, 
problems with build 5381 have changed those plans somewhat, along with 
the schedule for getting Beta 2 into the hands of users. Last weekend, 
Microsoft surprisingly issued a variant of build 5381 to testers after 
previously noting that it wouldn't ship any more interim builds before 
Beta 2.

Now, Microsoft plans to release a DVD of Vista Beta 2 and Office 2007 
Beta 2 to attendees of the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference 
(WinHEC) on May 23. Meanwhile, users who wish to obtain a DVD version 
of Beta 2 via the company's public Web site will have to wait until May 
27. Microsoft expects to eventually deliver this version to millions of 
people.
