Encarta 2005 Beta

[embj]

I just got my copy of Encarta 2005 Beta today. It's pretty cool it seems with all of the new features. IMO, it is much better than Encarta 2004.

I believe that it is going to go RTM sometime in June and I think the beta testing will end on May 10th.

17 Screenshots which will be released when the beta testing ends.

needs password to view?

Curious... does the NDA you agreed to allow you to make posts like this prior to Encarta 2005 RTM?

I'be beta'd many products over the years, both MS and non-MS, and I can't recall being allowed to make public comment on pre-release products... even when favorable

Or, was this a "public Beta" release?
