Thanks to [beta code] for the heads up on this

Microsoft have released build 2120 to their official beta testers this evening. Although this build is 3 behind current internal builds it's a welcomed addition since RC2 is now delayed until mid-may. We're not sure on what has changed but we'll bring you further information as soon as we can.

Known Issues

Please be aware of these two known issues with build 2120:

Internet Explorer may hang when browsing large websites over a secure (HTTPS) connection. Users can close the hung window through Task Manager.
Error "Windows Installer: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed." encountered when installing some applications. To work around this issue:
a) Reboot the machine.
b) Log in as the local administrator.
c) In a console window run “msiexec /regserver”

hmmm I can't seem ot get it to install. It gets up to "checking for neccessary disk space" and then doesn't do anything. The program doesn't crash and it is still shwon as "running" in task manager, but nothing happens. In task manager, I notice the process msinfo.exe is running at 97% cpu for like 12 minutes now.

No, I did uninstall and this was beyond al ong time. A few people are noticing msinfo.exe just doesn't stop running. Check out this thread I made which describes a quick fix:
