I don't know a single large organization that doesn't work this way. You can't start preparing until the product is actually released, and no the betas don't count since the things that are mostly likely to change from the beta to the shipping product (compatibility with existing systems and software) are exactly the things for which you'd most want to prepare. They won't recommend using it until they can verify that it works with existing resources, which may be awhile. How is this a bad thing? And if you don't think that's a good policy, because you support yourself and are comfortable finding your own workarounds, that's why the make the download available. Capable users can upgrade themselves while those who rely on the central support system know to wait until that central support support system has everything in place to support them. I'm genuinely baffled that this could be considered a bad policy. Well what exactly do you suggest? I don’t know a single large organization that doesn’t work this way.

I guess they're just letting us know it's there if we want it, but obviously they don't want to have to support it yet as a brand new OS. I got my copy!.. although it is running under Parallels on a MacBook! =P My university offers this as well through the Microsoft Developers Network Academic Alliance..
