I do know what you are saying Tyler but my sources at M$ say that Beta 2 will not be fully open. They are going to expand the testing database but it will not go public. IF they took it public before RC stage it would offend the MSDN, VIP, and TechNet guys that have paid god money for their subscriptions. AT least that is the lastest floating around. We do not know for sure yet what M$ plans on doing. Seeing as how Beta 2 got pushed back till Dec again not Nov like was last annouced we will have to wait and see.
