And the saga continues. It turns out, that Microsoft XP Corporate Preview RC 1 will not currently be available to the public. After seeing the below advertisement in the latest MSDN Flash, I wanted to check in upon the fact that the URL was inoperable. Well, here is what a Microsoft spokeswoman has to say for our readers: "This was inaccurate information inadvertently sent through the MSDN flash...it is not available to the public for $19.95. We apologize for any inconvenience." Well, that's how it goes. However you can indeed get the corporate preview in the MSDN March Subscription at the above link. Check it out!
