Vista CTP Program Announced
September 13, 2005, 12:43 PM
Microsoft has announced that it will begin a Community Technology Preview program for Windows Vista. The program will provide pre-release builds of Vista to interested customers and developers throughout the beta program. CTP builds will be available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers and technical beta program testers. Microsoft has plans to update the CTP at least once a month - a level of access never offered before in past Windows beta tests.

Man, I'd really like to get my hands on one of these builds. I'm not an MSDN subscriber, but I do program. It would be slick to try it out at least.

u wont need the money if ur already an MS beta tester.... we'll probly get in automatically. as far as cost goes, it may be similar to the winxp preview program, cept a multiplicity of 12 dollar fees per cd or whatever the hell it was i cant remember, it was over 4 years ago
