WhoAmI : Beta is not the beta ???

<Update>This post doesn't make any sense at all. Read here if you want to know why</Update>

Yesterday I had run wild in enthousiasm to see the beta available on MSDN downloads. Installed the thing and you know what ? The setup installs the May preview, the 40426 build......

Up till yesterday MSDN downloads featured two versions of VS 2005 : the march and the may preview. Yesterday both were gone and the beta appeared to be there. Complete with description and the image is named en_vs_2005_dvd_beta1.img.

The setup made had me a little confused. The titles of the setup pages mix May-preview with beta 1. And the setup results in the may preview.

I knew they had a problem with the beta. They also have very big problem with "communicating" that.

Frans, interesting, any info on what the issues were? I have the beta installed on a machine here and haven't found any major issues.

OK I started a new download. This time it's going to take me longer,more people seem to be downloading.
Maybe I was just unlucky and hit something outdated in a cache ???

Weird...
