Symantec has sent word that a beta version of pcAnywhere is available for download just in time for the launch of Windows XP, and is seeking beta testers to hammer out bugs. pcAnywhere v10.5 has added support for Windows XP as well as a host of other improvements. These include a host security assessment tool, "rebootless" host, logging enhancements, and an enhanced status icon.
Fitting into the mantra of Symantec"s public betas, the first 25 testers who submit undocumented bugs will receive a complementary copy. An additional 25 users will be selected at random to reward those with less than keen bug hunting skills for their efforts.
The beta is time-stamped and is set to expire on the November 30. To download and view pcAnywhere"s system requirements visit the Symantec beta site.
