I can't remember signing up for server 2008 but hey!
Only W2K8 Server testers.. WHS is actually a different beta all together based on W2K3
Got Mine....
I wonder if there will be a x64 version in the next beta release.

Why wouldn't there be?
Vista has both 32bit & 64-bit versions, they will be testing both.

Looking at the pre beta versions of SP1 that are kicking around on the torrent networks so far and I don't see a single version for x64, this got me thinking that they haven't released one yet.
Anyway if you are eligible you should find the survey on your connect 'Windows Server 2008' homepage, you don't have to wait for the email.
