Well, if you go to certain events (like PDC, etc) you will get it.
Or are of a certain MSDN class, you can get it.

For public, need to wait until a little later this month at WinHEC (Which I think is build 5381) and then the usual CPP.

http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowsp...ott_50190.html

(You have to slog through the site smackng the crap out of other stupid rumors.. then get to the meat.)

Anyone going to WinHEC?

I will be there

Damn, no imagination people, I've been running the build 5308 as a dual boot for awhile now, it's quite spiffy, and I'm not a msdn. How did I get it, it rhymes with abhorrent, lol.
