You're welcome, I've exactly the same problem. I've participated to the MSDN chat a few hours ago, and the answer has been something like "we won't post the beta on MS site because we've already given it to 1600 attendees. The only way to get the beta was to attend the DevCon, but now it's too late...". Astonishing, uh ? Seems they've forgotten that there are other developers on this planet.

The most accurate info I've received from them today says : "Late summer". This means that at least for me and you it will a pain and a waste of money and time.
