Huh? This is what it says on the registered users section of www.nonags.com it says "don't start downloading Whistler Beta 1 because Beta 2 is coming Tonight" and it was put up there today.

I may as well point out that MS hasn't released Beta 2, I have checked the Windows Beta site, so your nonags.com is inaccurate, if they mean 2410 (pre-beta 2 RC1)...then they are correct.

trust me, beta 2 won't be out for weeks..
 
MS just released pre-beta 2 about 5 days ago, so beta 2 is highly unlikely..
 
WindowsBeta reports 2410, and it doesn't say 2410(Beta 2) like it would say if it was beta 2, so it ain't beta 2.

Whistler beta2 is out, it's on nomads right now. Build 2410 (i guess it's been out for a few days now). They state it's the official Whistler Beta 2 (is it?). D/l it as i write! it's not on msdn yet. Might be there later.

it ain't beta 2..unless MSDN says that it is, then i'll believe them, but WindowsBeta didn't say that, so I'll believe that it's not Beta 2 until I hear word from MSDN

yeah im gonna have to agree jd on this one. If 2410 was beta 2 it wouldve said it also i find it hard to believe that nonags has b2 before whistler beta testers and MSDN

Ummmmm, yea it wierd you would think microsoft would put it up first. Anyway i thought build 2410 has been out for a few days? well it's on nonags, been downloading it all night. They state it's beta2. During the ME beta testing nonads had some of them up usually the night before microsoft did.

man, this guy doesn't give up, he's sure that 2410 is Beta 2, its hilairious. Man, if you want to believe its Beta2, go ahead.

I'm just telling you what i read. If 2410 is pre-beta 2 then let it be that. I'm just defending my position in saying that On there website they claim it's Beta2.

Well, i downloaded it and installed it and all over the installation it said Microsoft Whistler Beta 2. So i feel it's Beta 2 but according to everybody else in here it's not. Which makes me wonder if it's not beta 2 then why does it say beta 2 all thoughout the installation.

That's exactly what it is. Do you have it installed? And where are you getting your information from?

It's not beta2 for once and for all - it is pre-beta2. EVERYONE will know when beta2 is released because, like beta1, beta3, rc1, rc2, etc... it is a fairly major milestone. MS would be releasing it with a little more fanfair.
