How near is the actual release? And what flavours can we expect? Standalone or combined with a computer? Pricing?

Being one of the earlier testers, I'd say WHS should ship on schedule this fall. The flavors will be bundled (like the system from HP), and seperate through OEM/Enthusiast sales like media center 2006. I woulden't expect to see it on your local BestBuy shelves.

Can someone advise what will happen at the end of the Beta stage?

I downloaded the beta of Vista, only to find at the end of the trial that I had to reformat my hard drive to reinstall Windows XP which I had previously used. Unfortunately I didn't have any installation disks as they didn't come with the machine and I ended up buying another copy.

I don't want to go through this again with another Microsoft Beta and so some reassurance would be invaluable!
