微软已经向Windows Vista和Office 2007的测试人员发出了感谢函,并宣布此项测试工作已经结束,新闻组,Connect上的信息将在10天内删除.内含信件全文: As many of you know, we announced the business availability of the Windows Vista operating system and the 2007 release of Microsoft Office yesterday in New York City. The Windows Vista Beta Team would like to thank each of you for the incredible contributions you have made over the past 16 months!!! Windows Vista is the product it is because you, our valued beta testers, gave us such exceptional feedback. Over the next several weeks as we wrap up the beta program and turn our attention to server, you will notice the following changes on Connect:

    * Please discontinue bug submissions for Windows Vista. Windows Vista is a released product and after launch you should use normal product support channels if you encounter any issues. You may begin filing bugs against Longhorn Server when the next build is released.
    * All old and outdated content on Connect (builds, documentation, surveys, etc) will be removed.
    * Windows Vista-specific newsgroups will be closed on December 10, 2006 at which time all posts will be removed from the server. If you wish to archive any information please do so before then.
    * If you opt-in to continue to test Longhorn server and are accepted, you will see additional server-specific newsgroups added.
