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......

They had some serious issues in the beta so it was pulled last week. (these issues were not in the code that's in the Express setups). I think to test out the .NET technology it's wise to get the express installs and check for the beta next week.

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Maybe I was just unlucky and hit something outdated in a cache ???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...
