Cougar Beta 1 DVD is Here

June 27, 2007

The friendly DHL guy stopped by today, and he always brings the good stuff.

Today he delivered the Windows Server Code Name “Cougar” Beta 1 DVD.

And no, I’m not leaking any news - CRN announced Cougar back in January. But I am posting the info here to thank Kevin Beares and the Microsoft Windows Server team for listening to feedback and really working with the SMB community. You guys rock!!

And if you haven’t done so already, you can thank the team yourself by filling out the SBS WW Community Survey - the deadline has been extended. It takes 2 minutes to fill it out and they really appreciate the feedback.

Any ideas when the rest of us lowly people that don’t have direct Microsoft contacts will see a Beta?

Jon,

No word on the date yet, but when the public beta does go live, it will hit the web on the Microsoft Connect site here:

I’ll post an announcement on the site when the public beta goes live. You should also subscribe to Kevin Beares’ blog (link is on the right).

-Tim
