Here's what a number of you have been waiting for - the RC build of the R2 release is now available on the connect site (https://connect.microsoft.com/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=12988&SiteID=16).

It is the eval version, which I believe only works on an eval version of SP1 (and only the RTM release of SP1, not any pre-release builds).

Have fun!

Does anyone know when we can expect to see an upgrade path available from SCCM SP1 non-eval?

I don''t understand the question. An upgarde from SP1 non-eval to what?

If mean R2, then R2 is *not* a release, so you don't *upgrade*, so you don't upgrade to it. You add R2 to an existing SP1 site.

The non-eval version should be available on the volume license site. But only there as far as I know.

I went and checked out the site and R2 is only available in german and japanese. I even called MVLS support and they are telling me that its not going to be released until November (with no date). Does this make sense to anyone? I dont know why MS would be plastering the R2 release if the only way you can use it is to live in Germany, Japan or using the eval version. Maybe i am just missing something here?

I know many people who have downloaded the English version. Are you saying it is no longer there, and only German and Japanese? If so, then something happened, as again, many people have already downloaded it and are using it.

Yes, it is no longer there. That was one of the reasons I called MVLS support to find out why english is not available. They told me that is was due in novemeber but had no date on when that would be. If you happen to know anything more about this I would be happy to hear it. I am really excited about application virtualization and really want to start digging into it.

News to me, as I know people were downloading it in September. I have no clue as to what happened. Sorry about that.

Just to be clear we are talking about the "non-eval" version right? the eval version is definitely available however the non-eval is on hiatus.

Yes, I'm talking about the non-eval version. The eval version has been on the TechCenter site for months now (OK, maybe just short of two months :-).
