The first test version is actually a technical beta, which means the release will be strictly controlled for a number of pre-selected testers. The second beta release, due for early in 2006, will be more widely available

I work for a computer company. I was chosen to test beta 1 and let tell you, WOW! When this hits the public you will really see a difference and like it.
