I heard that it will be about May or possible early June when you will see beta 2. I am sorry for you that you wasted your money cause RC2 or perhaps even the RTM will be available when you get your beta 2 in the mail. I was thinking about joining the preview program until i realized how stupid it was to pay ms for something i will already have a better copy of by the time they get it to me. By the time they get the RC1 out the door to the public the RTM will have already been leaked to the net and available all over the place.

never knew that i'd see ppl paying to do MS's dirty work.

Never heard of Technet and MSDN, eh?

Microsoft should have e-mailed you saying the next few weeks and then you get Candidate 1 and 2 in June or July timeframe. A friend of mine did it and got a email saying all this...

Why the hell did I buy it :-(( I think I will cancell it............

hhhhmmmm..... I was gonna buy the previews but I already have beta 2 now. You think RC1 & 2 will be all that much different? Beta 2 seems to run 100% here.....But I have no problem with buying the previews of RC1 & 2 to check out. (well, just one problem, hehe, getting the girlfriend to let me use her credit card, hehe) But also don't wanna waste my money on something thats gonna be the same as Beta 2 and have to wait so log to get it!
 
So what do yaz think? Beta 2 close to what the final will be minus little bug and quirk fixxes?
 
cheers
