Windows Vista beta 2 comes in November

I'm not so sure as the guys at the inquirer who are known to be a touch optimistic on 'sloooow news days' & I seem to think like this; - This year or, maybe, the next one?
..Microsoft hasn’t confirmed an official release date for this Beta 2..
So, its a good job I'm confus-ed already or I wouldn't know what to think!
