KeymasterYour call, but it could get you into the beta program for future releases as well.

ParticipantOh, but I never said I wasn’t going to wait.. just for the time being, I may use a mirror (I’m still running v205).

Memberpardon the stupidity and all…but how do I actually get the beta programs in question?

KeymasterFollow the instructions in my initial topic (up above). Once you’re accepted, you’ll be given a download link.
You could also download a bootleg copy, although that would be frowned on by Microsoft. Or you can wait a couple weeks until Microsoft opens up a public beta test.
