From Microsoft's Newly Redesigned Microsoft Vista Website: Longhorn Beta 1 Release Date = August 3rd, 2005! Looks like Paul was wrong again!
I think there are two sides to this... Sign-off is still targeted for the 27th as far as I can tell (so in that sense he is correct)...what they are saying is that they are commited to getting it to testers by the following week.

Sign off should be done already otherwise you cannot publicly set a date August 3 "Josh Phillips" wrote in message news:em9cCKsjFHA.3012@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... >I think there are two sides to this... > > Sign-off is still targeted for the 27th as far as I can tell (so in that > sense he is correct)...what they are saying is that they are commited to > getting it to testers by the following week. > > (I think) > > Josh > http://yourtechconnect.blogspot.com/ > > > "Kevin Panzke" wrote in message > news:02DFDFFD-D844-4D79-BD30-4EE47286F0C5@microsoft.com... >> From Microsoft's Newly Redesigned Microsoft Vista Website: Longhorn Beta >> 1 >> Release Date = August 3rd, 2005!

We have been doing new builds at least once and day and continue to do so for the Vista and Longhorn Server development. You are however correct that branding has traditionally been a low priority task, but with a firm branding model already announced then we will probably have to do more branding work sooner rather then later for at least the Windows Vista builds. -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "Steve Walker" <$stevew@bucks.net$> wrote in message news:elx1N3okFHA.3300@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > > "Blackice" wrote in message > news:eoj9ahjkFHA.2472@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... >> Andre Da Costa [Extended64] wrote: >>> Exactly. >> >> They said "by" August 3rd.
