Microsoft plans to close the Windows Vista Beta 2 test to new users after Friday, a company executive said Thursday, because the preview has reached its copy limit.
Ian Moulster, a .Net product manager based in the U.K., blogged that the take-up on the free-of-charge beta had been "incredible," and that with the company's self-imposed download and mail-delivered limit fast approaching, the offer would be withdrawn.
"When it's gone, it's really gone," Moulster wrote.
Microsoft confirmed the Friday shut-off in a message posted to the Vista Beta 2 site.
