A while ago I posted that the SCVMM Beta was accepting nominations - but now there are bits available to download!

To download the beta (if you are already registered):

1. Go to http://connect.microsoft.com/vmm/downloads  
2. Sign in with your Passport or Windows Live ID that you used to register for the Beta
3. Download “VMM Beta 1”
4. Please make sure you read the Getting Started with Virtual Machine Manager and Requirements for Deploying Virtual Machine Manager  before attempting to install VMM Beta 1, these documents include important information regarding your setup and can save you time.

Cheers,
Ben
