My understanding is that it will be the Beta 1 milestone build. So it will not be the build from the PDC.

Keith - do you know if this is the true beta 1 or the same pre-beta build that was given out at the PDC?

Hi Mr. Keith

I did not understand it if the beta is available in December or January

My understanding is that the DVD will not be ready for the first few show dates but will be mailed to each attendee.

So I would imagine the folks attending the Houston, Orlando and Atlanta shows this month will receive their DVD's around mid January as well. That's an assumption on my part. Could be earlier or later, but they will get them. Make sure you Microsoft profile has the correct address. Might come in handy for this event. :?)

Keith,

Will it actually be in the materials? Or will it be mailed out later?
