Seems that everyone wants to know as the beta version has a few bugs that no one seems to have answers for as of yet. I also would like to know a release date as the version I have, bews2010 beta, also does not do any updates and remains the same way it was when I downloaded the trial version. UNless there are updates that we are not privy to. It does in fact fail on a backup of system state and that is a major area.
The last update we got on time frame was March, even though we originally were told it would hit late year.
