Microsoft opens up Vista testing for the public

By

Windows users can now get their hands on a test version of Vista, Microsoft’s new operating system. The software giant is letting anyone download or order a beta, or trial, version of the program. Only those happy to tinker with a PC should install the software though as it is not final or 100% stable from our sources.

Those registering for the test version will get two versions of the software – beta 2 and release candidate 1. The beta is available now and the other copy will be released later in 2006. Microsoft is limiting the numbers of registrations but has not said when it will stop taking applications. Before now Microsoft has only let small numbers of Windows developers play around with early editions.
