New WinXP enabled version of Avalon up on MSDN

The Avalon team has dropped a new Customer Technology Preview (CTP) release that is now enabled to run on XP and above. This version runs on Whidbey Beta 2 (build 2.0.40607.51), which is older than the most recent Whidbey CTP (released in October). Those two versions of Whidbey probably won't mix well, so I'd recommend installing on your Beta 2 machine.

The Avalon team has been working really hard to get this build going, congrats to them!

Its good. Finally someones taken the logical step of processing graphical information over a graphics card. Which is one of the main reasons to have a graphics card. I can't wait till Longhorn's released.

# Jason Zander [MSFT] said on November 29, 2004 10:09 PM:: Jesse - you are correct (Arik pointed this out as well above). We have released CTP's already that are on the Beta 2 branch (last was in October). Beta 2 has not been formally released yet.
