Yes, only time will tell...

Quoting another source, the date of the release has been delayed.. Someone could affirm?

the page couldnt load

http://lapytsh.free.fr/ (typo in your link )

My French is not that good, I can't make up from Google's translation if their source is a beta program manager or just a beta tester.

It does say however that lapytsh itself doesn't know what to think of the message, so they're not to sure about the source themselves i guess.

I guess we'll find out within 24/48 hours anyway .

Yet another example of why one should rely on "leaked" release date information. As was mentioned before, having today as a release date for a WLM 8.1 Public Beta could change.

I have no info as yet, but will see what i can find out.

An MS official just commented on the newsgroup for managed beta testers.

He basically said:
- There will indeed be a public beta (confirmed)
- There was an private beta build planned before the public beta will come out, but because MS discovered some more bugs they didn't have the time to release a private beta to managed testers only. So the private build got canceled and the next build the will release will be a public beta.
- He says: "The build that is going out is a major step up from what you've been testing" (so it will be a big improvement from the build that is out now, don't know if he means stability, features or both)

He doesn't confirm the date though. But his reply is in a topic about the same newspost as is discussed here, and he isn't saying the date is wrong either.

Im just checked about half an hour ago to see if any new was posted on the newsgroups

*Salem heads over to Newsgroups*

Yes, so it is now officiall, a public Beta WILL begin. The question now is when...will it be with the next couple hours, or in a few weeks?

I really am optimistic about this new build now, as the MS official did say
