But, as of currently, it isn't possible to download Microsoft Exchange server 2007 Beta 2:
The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page.

Have to wait a few minutes more... ? :?

I'd say wait a few minutes/hours. The Forefront Security download only just went live, so perhaps the Exchange Server 2007 download is lagging as well.

Hours, apparently. :)


I am currently still redirected to the wrong download page, but I did a search now for Exchange 2007 and found the download which is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=74f16cbb-e3d8-42e0-b43d-d1e29e2a1dae&amp;DisplayLang=en

(That URL didn't exist earlier today, though...)

Grumble, grumble. This always happens with major betas. ;)

Nice catch. I'll update my original post.
