NO..that's not true. Beta 1 won't be out till later next year. At PDC 2003, there will be a developer preview edition coming out, so it is not Beta 1.

Ok, I thought the lastest alpha build was being released at PDC not Beta 1? From what I know, Beta 1 is next year..so you must be mistaken

"We were among the first to get the PDC 2003 Bits package, and here's what's inside: Inside Longhorn for Developers, an MS Press book by Brent Rector; a WinFX developer preview poster, and a gorgeous CD case (called "the goods") with DVDs of Longhorn DVD 1, Longhorn DVD 2, Virtual PC 2004 beta CD, Yukon CD, and Whidbey DVD. The Longhorn DVD 1 contains Longhorn x86, Longhorn x64, Longhorn IA-64, Longhorn Symbols, Longhorn SDK, Longhorn Driver Kit, Tablet PC SDK, and Windows Mobile SDK, along with whitepapers, guides, presentations, and sample chapters."

Thought so thanks, I am in the MSH beta program so I thought it might be funny I missed it.

Good news for all the Longhorn fans out there, I have just been chatting to a little bird who told me Microosft have put a date in their diary for the Longhorn Beta 1 (August 2004) though as we know Beta 1 for XP was 3 months late.

But sometime in March you should start hearing about the new Alpha build and I am sure it will be leaked like all the others so everyone can have a look and not just us special few newwink.gif
