There are no updates available for the beta version
of 64-bit Windows XP. That's because it is a "beta
product".

Nothing.
You have a Beta.
Normally Beta do not get updates.

Since it is Beta, it is not on a production computer.
Thus if anything happens you are already fully prepared to format and
reinstall.

Hi -

While in theory beta is fairly riddled with problems, having beta does NOT
mean no updates - in fact, most beta processes are one update and patch after
another, since beta is to try and *find and fix* problems.

So, I respectfully disagree with your response. Not having an update is one
thing, saying that it's because it's beta seems a bit off the mark.

Having done beta for hardware and software for nearly 15 years, I can
appreciate the efforts, and certainly understand the alpha/beta cycles.

I think it would have been more clear to say that there are no updates
planned at this time, rather than say because it's beta there are no updates.
I know, nitpicking ... grin

I fully agree that you should NEVER run beta on production systems - that's
purely foolish.
