I've been given access in the email to the beta but when I go to the link,
http://download.windowsvista.com/pre...6/download.htm, and
select a download option it just says:
"Access denied.

Please go to http://www.windowsvista.com/getready/preview"

What is that all about? Please HELP!!!

I followed another poster's advice and cleared out my cookies, temporary
internet files, and browser history, and now I'm not getting the error
anymore!
