does it means after releasing 75,000 copies of the software.
some ppl would have to buy it to have one?
VG
^^ Nope. As its first public beta, only a few selected people (75,000) would get access to it. After that there would be another beta available soon.
Once the final product is released, it would be available to all and FREE of course.
PS: The number 75,000 can be increased by Microsoft.
