This is what it says on the registered users section of www.nonags.com it says "don't start downloading Whistler Beta 1 because Beta 2 is coming Tonight" and it was put up there today.

jdulmage 0 Posted January 10, 2001 I may as well point out that MS hasn't released Beta 2, I have checked the Windows Beta site, so your nonags.com is inaccurate, if they mean 2410 (pre-beta 2 RC1)...then they are correct. Share this post Link to post
Ryanrk 0 Posted January 10, 2001 Well, that's what it says on there website, it's not up yet. I also have a msdn account and it isn't there either. Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted January 10, 2001 trust me, beta 2 won't be out for weeks.. MS just released pre-beta 2 about 5 days ago, so beta 2 is highly unlikely.. WindowsBeta reports 2410, and it doesn't say 2410(Beta 2) like it would say if it was beta 2, so it ain't beta 2. Share this post Link to post
Ryanrk 0 Posted January 10, 2001 Whistler beta2 is out, it's on nomads right now. Build 2410 (i guess it's been out for a few days now). They state it's the official Whistler Beta 2 (is it?). D/l it as i write! it's not on msdn yet. Might be there later. Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted January 10, 2001 it ain't beta 2..unless MSDN says that it is, then i'll believe them, but WindowsBeta didn't say that, so I'll believe that it's not Beta 2 until I hear word from MSDN Share this post Link to post
ThC 129 0 Posted January 10, 2001 yeah im gonna have to agree jd on this one. If 2410 was beta 2 it wouldve said it also i find it hard to believe that nonags has b2 before whistler beta testers and MSDN Share this post Link to post
Ryanrk 0 Posted January 10, 2001 Ummmmm, yea it wierd you would think microsoft would put it up first. Anyway i thought build 2410 has been out for a few days? well it's on nonags, been downloading it all night. They state it's beta2. During the ME beta testing nonads had some of them up usually the night before microsoft did. Share this post Link to post
EddiE314 0 Posted January 10, 2001 man, this guy doesn't give up, he's sure that 2410 is Beta 2, its hilairious. Man, if you want to believe its Beta2, go ahead. --------------------- May Flames burn the sh1t out of you. Share this post Link to post
CM 1 Posted January 10, 2001 Build 2410 = Pre-Beta 2 I am suprised that nonags has Whistler Betas but i email them and it looks like that nonags has a contract with microsoft. I subscribe now nonags plus Christian Share this post Link to post

CUViper 0 Posted January 11, 2001 ok, so did they post it like they said they would? is it really beta 2? Share this post Link to post
Ryanrk 0 Posted January 11, 2001 Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by CUViper:ok, so did they post it like they said they would? is it really beta 2?</font> Well, i downloaded it and installed it and all over the installation it said Microsoft Whistler Beta 2. So i feel it's Beta 2 but according to everybody else in here it's not. Which makes me wonder if it's not beta 2 then why does it say beta 2 all thoughout the installation.

EddiE314 0 Posted January 11, 2001 then whats the build number??! if its 5.1.2410 then its not Beta 2, its PRE-BETA 2. Share this post Link to post

Do you have it installed? And where are you getting your information from? [This message has been edited by Ryanrk (edited 11 January 2001).] Share this post Link to post
Shrink 0 Posted January 11, 2001 http://www.wininformant.com/display.asp?ID=3043 It's not beta2 for once and for all - it is pre-beta2. EVERYONE will know when beta2 is released because, like beta1, beta3, rc1, rc2, etc... it is a fairly major milestone. MS would be releasing it with a little more fanfair. ------------------ Shrink 92% of the things we worry about don't happen - but the other 8% DO!

jdulmage 0 Posted January 12, 2001 just to add in, you said that it says beta 2 all over the installation, that's because MS added those in ahead of time, they have done that with previous betas before too. Share this post Link to post

jdulmage 0 Posted January 13, 2001 if WindowsBeta says that it isn't, then it isn't...that's all i'm pointing out.. incase you haven't noticed, I think everyone that posted here agrees with me, so you can cut the childish attitude... Share this post Link to post
