Hey,

I'm just curious, when Windows Vista beta 2 becomes available to the public who here will download it?   I know I am

it will be available to the public? the beta wont be available to the public.. there preparing it for when its available to the public = final release

Yes I read on neowin that vista beta 2 should be available shortly

windows vista beta 2 wont be released to the public.. only the testers get it an or other devs , not the whole public

there is no reason why they would give the (alost completed) beta of a paid product for free. since the cheapest version of vista will cost around $200? dollars, people will just download and use the beta instead. thee were probably talking about something else

From my understanding it will be a full working beta of windows vista that will expire.

i got a news letter about it today

but when i clicked the link, you could only download the Office beta

Windows Vista should be available soon as a public beta.

beats me why MS would release a full windows beta of Vista to the public unless there hoping it may entice people to buy the retailed version by letting the public download a beta?
