Can someone mirror this on SillyProject so those of us that aren't so lucky to have a MSDN subscription can download it?

Question is... When is it going to be a public beta for everyone else.

According to download.com (I have no clue why they got the info ahead of neowin and related sites) it was a mistake, that's it. Another mistake. Microsoft confirms it.
