Microsoft revamps Vista testing schedule
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft has tweaked its testing schedule for Windows Vista as it tries to get the operating system update out by the end of 2006.
Rather than have a formal test version labeled "Beta 2," the company is now aiming for a series of test releases this year. Each will be aimed at getting feedback from a specific audience, Windows chief Jim Allchin said in an interview this week with CNET News.com.
An update to the current Community Technology Preview program, set for release sometime this quarter, will serve as the version that Microsoft wants corporations to test. The software maker said in December that it was targeting February for the next CTP release.
