For the first time, Microsoft is releasing a beta pre-release edition of Windows Vista to the public. The beta release is intended for IT professionals and developers but it available openly to everyone with the caution that beta code is still in development and should be only used in test environments.
This means, for all those newbies out there, don't put it on your home pc because if it can wreck havoc, it will, and Microsoft doesn't want to be blamed. You've been warned. Now run along, download your DVD images, burn baby burn and get that hot little install into your hands.
Oh, and please, please READ the fine print on this one. It's well worth it. Make sure your system has the minimum requirements to be considered Vista-capable.
It also appears that Microsoft official speak is still closely adhering to the final release date being in 2007. It has been speculated that the release could have come as early as November 2006, but then Microsoft pushed back their timetable for its commercial release date to January 2007 disappointing many retail marketers and faithful Microsoft fans.
