No early beta for Microsoft Longhorn

FROM THE INQUIRER:

THE EVER WATCHFUL Microsoft Watch has a short and sweet snippet this morning, concerning the debut of Longhorn at WinHEC.
Or rather, the non-debut. WinHEC (Windows Hardware Engineering Conference) is in April, and there was speculation that we would see the first Beta release of Longhorn at the show. However, it seems like that speculation has been crushed, since Microsoft is just going to bring more Alpha preview code, according to the report.

The Watchers suggest that there might be a Beta around for the Professional Developers Conference at the beginning of Q3, but no-one is particularly hopeful.

The saga goes on... µ
