Pending Windows code name "Longhorn" Beta Program  7/18/2005 Details  Decline Participation

everyone has that, its a last minute allowance to decline participation, it means nothing to you unless you want to drop out before they make you in permanatly

Question for you all: On my connect site, it lists the "Longhorn" and IE7 beta under "Current Active Sites", but nothing under "Program Participtation Status". I take it that all I have to do is wait?

I have an "Active" listed under Program Participation Status, you might want to double check with MS

Windows Server 2007 isn't shipping until 2007, so why is Microsoft bringing out the beta today. I don't think the beta for the Server is coming out today. No one has metioned being nominated for that, and Microsoft isn't going to mix the betas, so no I don't think so.

yeah, anyone know what the minimum requirements are?

Not what it says on the box, but the REAL minimum.

Correction, the real minimum so you can actually have a good or smooth experience.

I want to use it on a 3.2GHz, 1.5gb Ram, 64mbnVidia G-Force FX machine.l

Windows Vista, Server and IE 7 Betas to Arrive in Synch

Microsoft (Quote, Chart) confirmed to internetnews.com that it will deliver the beta 1 version of Longhorn Server on August 3, along with the beta 1 release Internet Explorer 7.

This says they are shipping together

Why does everyone want to be the first to get anything. Like, it will be there tomorrow too people. And the next day, and so on. Take it easy.

I am sure the beta will run, the real question we need to ask is will it be able to do Aero Glass...

They have been saying 128mb of video memory for the Aero Glass experience....but I have a feeling they might bring that down....
