Did not know if there is already a post about the beta for Windows Update v6. I got an email for beta tester, but I think the link is working for all Windows 2003 Servers, http://beta.update.microsoft.com. If you open the link using Windows XP/2000/... you will be redirected to version 4 or 5. Note: the new update webpage is still in beta!!

  What do you mean with "NDA"?? Sorry... I wrote this word on some different pages, but don't know the german translation for this.

  Michael, ist es wirklich eine neue Beta, or soll das ein Witz sein?

  @Manuel: Nein, es ist kein Witz. Ich habe gestern von Microsoft eine E-Mail erhalten, in der ich über die Version 6 (aktuell Beta) informiert wurde.

  Dear Windows Update v5 Beta tester,
  
  My name is Roger Holland, beta coordinator for the upcoming Windows Update (WU) v6 Beta Program. I am delighted at the opportunity to work with you on the continuation of improvements to our update processes. Shortly, you will receive the formal announcement about the WU v6 Beta Program.
  
  To recap, the Windows Update (WU) v5 Beta Program ended late last year and the WU v5 site is operational. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who participated. WU v5 would not have been as successful without your help!
