WinInfo: Beta 2-o-rama on tap for Tuesday
WinInfo | at | by Mike
It's been a busy time at Maison de Thurrott this week, a rare week home after weeks of travel, but the impending Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) looms over me like a beacon of doom. Why is that you ask? Next week's WinHEC will see the Beta 2 release of three major Microsoft products: Windows Vista, Longhorn Server, and Office 2007. So I've been scurrying around trying to shore up the reviews for each, which I'll release over the course of the next week. It's a busy, busy time, and oddly enough, going to the show itself will seem relaxing compared to the preparation work. Stay tuned to the SuperSite for Windows (and the WinInfo Web site) for ongoing coverage of WinHEC 2006 and, of course, some heavy-duty Beta 2 reviews. Speaking of which: The Vista Beta 2 build candidate is up to build 5384.3 at the moment, but you never know if a last-second issue could cause it to jump to the build 5385 range. See you next week!
