Hi John,

I'd rather think that it's first quarter 2001... At DevCon they probably present a beta version, as they did almost everytime now. *g* And then it takes a couple of month to actually ship the release, a few couple of month more to ship localized versions. I don't have any information, neither, just to make this clear. My assumption is simply based on that in November they still previewed a technical preview, nothing that would soon go into beta testing (especially not after crashing the system during DevCon *g*), beta testing itself needs several months before the public beta is available.
