Stephen Thomas announced that the BizTalk 2006 Beta Program has now gone public. If you are interested in the latest and greatest of BizTalk integration 'stuff' like the rest of us (That's why you're reading this right?) I would highly recommend joining the masses and getting on this hot product to test out. This is the future of integration, this is where its going. I am very excited about this. (Can you tell?)
Here's the info right from Stephen's Blog: (and check out BizTalkGurus for some great BizTalk 2006 content)
To sign up for the beta program follow these easy steps:
1. Go to http://beta.microsoft.com
2. Sign in with your passport
3. At the top of the page it should say something like “if you have a Guest Id click here”.
4. Enter: BizTalkBetaTeam (case sensitive) as your guest id.
5. Fill out the survey. I think the link is located on the left side of the screen. Make sure you do not use a PO Box.
6. You should get a welcome email once you are processed.
