black.ops Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 So... any of these going to be public? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daem0hn Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 ^ exactly what i was thinking, the article mentions 'enthusiast communities' as well as beta testers, which implys to me atleast that they will be expanding the audience for the previews, however i am not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modernponderer Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) There will be a Beta 2, for those of you who actually took the time to read the chat at WinSuperSite. And it'll be public. Edited January 28, 2006 by andytek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewhaji Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Way too much information released lately has contradicted things said previously. I think the only way we'll know for sure what Microsoft will do is to wait it out and see what actually happens. After all, we all know how good Microsoft is at keeping promises, especially when it comes to release dates and new features. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSimx Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 When is this "Beta 2" out...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And much of the previous info was speculation and rumor (like all SKU bits on the same DVD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fascist Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Did I read 2007? I though it was late 2006. Ahh whatever ill switch to some other os... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmoth Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Did I read 2007? I though it was late 2006. Ahh whatever ill switch to some other os... I think that's for Longhorn Server. On [Windows Server] 'Longhorn,' Microsoft also is planning to issue a number of regular CTP builds as the product wends its way through the testing process until it is released to manufacturing in 2007, Allchin said.

jadkins555 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 April is when the community preview version ships. In the news post: Allchin reveals to Thurrott that Microsoft will be cutting back on the idea of 'Virtual Folders', and that the planned April CTP could be thought of as the major public preview.

Express Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Looks like all that was done was a right-click rename from 'Beta2' to CTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartMeUp Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Maybe then Microsoft should drop the "beta 2" text in the version info. It's confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
