I wondered exactly the same thing so I e-mailed Microsoft UK and thus is the response I got from them:

Dear Mr. Bookless
Thank you for contacting the Microsoft:registered: U.K. Beta Programme regarding Microsoft:registered: Preview Programme:registered: software.
I can confirm that we have recieved the Microsoft:registered: Windows:registered: XP Beta order that you placed . We are currently awaiting stock to arrive for this product and until such a time no payment will be taken from your credit card.
We currentlty anticipate that fulfillment of all pre-orders will be around mid July, although,as yet, we do not have a final confirmation on an exact date.
In order to evaluate Microsoft:registered: Windows:registered: XP within the UK, it will require you waiting for the Beta CD to be sent to you.

Same here really, i signed up 4 the UK preview a couple of weeks back. Had nothing at all yet from microsoft. As it could be a few more weeks b4 we get our cds, i'm downloading a copy now. Only 12 hours 2 go *sighs* This is the 3rd copy now i've tried to get. I downloaded 90% of 2495 b4 the site was pulled, then 20% of RC1. Now i'm getting a rather old 2464 version. I'm stuck on a humble 56k modem here. We can't get ADSL or CABLE in this part of Wales
