Exchange 2010 Beta 1, and W2K8 R2 RTM

Microsoft has just recently announced the availablity of Exchange Server 2010 Beta 1, which is now publicly available. The product itself should be ready in second half of 2009, meaning probably something around October-November timeframe (my wild guess).

The beta itself is available here.

Also, Windows Server 2008 R2 is now available on MSDN, so make sure you get the bits flowing. And as an additional bonus for today, there's now the final version of the Windows 7 Training Kit For Developers available.
