Office and Vista Beta 2 Notifcations!

May I believe - haven't got mine through yet I don't think. If people have
got the May shipment and it's not in there, it'll be the June shipment.

Thanks Zack!

Per TechNet web site, and sorry to say it isn't June, its July.
"TechNet Plus subscribers will receive Windows Vista Beta 2 in the July
monthly shipment."

Applied but still waiting to be accepted for the Vista Beta Testing group.
Can't wait to be able to play and help make it even better.

I installed Beta 1 into a virtual machine, so it couldn't break any
existing Office installations. I plan on doing the same thing with Beta 2
(once I manage to get the download <g>).

I can't seem to get the product key for Ultimate. The others
came down fine.
