Windows Vista Beta 2 CPP Due Out on Saturday, May 27th, 2006!
http://www.neowin.net

That's not a direct Microsoft source, so it could be anyone's guess. Just wait until Microsoft start distributing downloads or media - you can almost guarantee Andre or myself or one of the MVP's will post here as soon as the public beta's ready.

P.S. Not only do they wait at least a Couple Days to start sending out the E-mails (for Internet Traffic Congestion Relief), but they also usually stagger the E-mails so that Not Everyone gets the E-mail at the same time (also for Internet Traffic Congestion Relief), just FYI.

If they Cut Our Cable, they would be cutting off our Access to E911 as well, which is Against the Law.

P.S. Thank God for the fact that our Digital Cable, High Speed Internet and Digital Phone Service all come into our house on house on only one Cable. As a Result, Comcast would need to get a Court Order in order to Cut Our Cable.

There was actually someone (from Comcast) outside here last night just after Midnight, of course they left without doing anything, when they realized that our Comcast Digital Cable Service and our Comcast Digital Phone Service is coming into our house on the same cable as our Comcast High Speed Internet Service, just FYI. They would need to get a Federal Court Order in order to cut of our Comcast Digital Phone Service, also just FYI.

"Thank God for my single point of failure"?!?

Why do you keep posting the same information over and over again? People can read it the first time you post it. Just reply to one person.
And for those who say I should just leave it be etc, I'm bored and not in a good mood :p

Yeh but you'll normally get the previous build about 2 months before hand, so you're always about 2 months behind. Having said that, seems that way with MSDN!

Exactly, so if sign up for Tech Net Plus and Beta 2 doesn't come out until either Late May or Early June, you very well could be waiting until your August Shipment to get Beta 2, when us MSDN Subscriber's will be playing with RC 1.

Gee, that is why I am signed up for the puhlic beta 2. There are many reason why I would choose Technet VS MSDN. Personally, I feel that if I payed for MSDN, it would be a waste because I am not a developer. However, I am into the support of MS software in my field. Granted I may not get beta versions when MSDN does, but to me, getting beta is just a plus to the whole program.

Exactly, so if sign up for Tech Net Plus and Beta 2 doesn't come out until either Late May or Early June, you very well could be waiting until your August Shipment to get Beta 2, when us MSDN Subscriber's will be playing with RC 1.
"Zack Whittaker" wrote in message Yeh but you'll normally get the previous build about 2 months before hand, so you're always about 2 months behind. Having said that, seems that way with MSDN!

There was actually someone (from Comcast) outside here last night just after Midnight, of course they left without doing anything, when they realized that our Comcast Digital Cable Service and our Comcast Digital Phone Service is coming into our house on the same cable as our Comcast High Speed Internet Service, just FYI. They would need to get a Federal Court Order in order to cut of our Comcast Digital Phone Service, also just FYI.
"michael e dziatkowicz" wrote in message I for one hope comcast comes and cuts your cable. "Kevin John Panzke" wrote in message P.S. Not only do they wait at least a Couple Days to start sending out the E-mails (for Internet Traffic Congestion Relief), but they also usually stagger the E-mails so that Not Everyone gets the E-mail at the same time (also for Internet Traffic Congestion Relief), just FYI.
"Kevin John Panzke" wrote in message Trust me, It usually takes Microsoft a Full Week or More to Send Out all the E-mails anytime something new comes out, I will instead be keeping my eyes on Neowin.net, and this Newsgroup, just FYI.

Would it not just be easier to release a date of when the public beta is possibly going to be released even if they said that it could be from the 27th May to 30th May for example. I think that way it would save these conversations and headache for everyone.
Effectivly what I am saying is lets have it from the horses mouth so to speak rather than 3rd parties.
