Microsoft have released the public beta of Vista their next release in the windows product suite.

Microsoft Vista Beta

Here's the intro blurb from the site:

[size=18px]How to get started[/size]

This Beta 2 release is now available in three languages (English, German, and Japanese) and in 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

When you register for the Customer Preview Program you will receive the Beta 2 release plus Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 (RC1) â€” the next major pre-release of Windows Vista â€” when it is available later this year. The information on this page pertains to both Beta 2 and RC1.

The Customer Preview Program is available in a limited quantity both through download and DVD kit ordering. Once the allotted quantity has been reached the program will be closed and no new orders will be accepted.

There are two ways to get Windows Vista Beta 2:

1. Order the DVD kit and have it shipped to your home or office.
2. Download the ISO file to your PC
(An ISO file is an exact representation of a CD or DVD, including the content and the logical format. Once you download the ISO file, youâ€™ll need to burn it to a DVD before you can install the software.)

To get started, please choose one of the ordering options below and select your country or region. Then, we will ask you a few questions and register you for the Windows Vista Customer Preview Program. As a part of this program, you will receive an e-mail newsletter that will keep you up to date with information and tools to enhance your experience with Windows Vista Beta 2. (You can unsubscribe at any time through a link in the newsletter.)

On your own head be it.
