Longhorn Beta Schedule Revealed

According to my sources at Microsoft, the software giant has set its sights on July 27, 2005 as the release date for Longhorn Beta 1, though obviously that date could slip if the company is unable to hit internal bug requirements. …As far as the Beta 1 schedule goes, Microsoft’s test teams are required to complete testing by July 22, but they need to achieve the “0 active bug” designation in order to ship Beta 1.  On Monday, there were 123 active bugs in the Beta 1 fork. That number had dropped to 86 by Tuesday.
