Amazingly there are updates for it already in Windows Update. But again, beta versions are always miles away from released versions. Looks like a Jun 2009 release date.

True , and an another very good reason NOT to downgrade to Vista or 7 when it comes out. I am happy with my old Dell notebook , and would rather upgrade it's HDD and motherboard and chipset and STAY with XP Pro.
Similarly for the desktop, though the HP desktop has proven to be a real dog , it's actually slower than my Dell (go figure).
Now if I happen to leave the computer plugged in and powered up while an electrical storm is overhead and it get's fryed .... tempting .... that's another story as I guess the replacement the insurer will off load on me will probably be a quadcore and I'll be stuck with what ever OS comes on it's HDD.
