Update on the SUS 2.0 Beta Program

Contributed By: Rod Trent [MVP SMS]
From Microsoft:

"As has been previously announced, the SUS 2.0 Beta program, including acceptance and start date, has been delayed.

We’re still in the process of determining how to best support a vastly expanded program to match the overwhelming response we had when nominations were initially opened. The updated plan is scheduled to be finalized by the end of January 2004. Shortly thereafter we'll announce this to customers already nominated for the program.

We apologize for any inconvenience this delay has caused and look forward to working with you in the New Year.
