Is there anyway to download/get mailed the latest beta of Vista?

I want to test it out as I suspect I'll need to know it backwards for
my job, but it seems the bloody beta is already closed. They only
released the latest beta a few days ago for gods sake. I've ordered the
beta for Office 2007 but I'm getting a big negative on Vista.

You'd think that since I have bloody MCSE and numerous other of their
shitty certifications that I would be at least entitled to a damn beta,
but it seems not.

 

The Windows Vista beta2 Customer Preview Program was open for over 3
weeks during June, in which time it was made available to over 2
million testers around the world.

The download of Windows Vista Beta 2 code represents the fastest and
longest sustained delivery of data in Microsoft's history, and
according to our download partner Akamai, it has been one of the
biggest sustained download volumes in the history of the Internet.

Please send me an email firstname.lastname @ microsoft.com and I will
courier you X86 and X64 DVDs of Windows Vista beta2. The next public
release will be RC1 in a month or 2.

Because I didn't think they would actually bother sending out one.
Seems I was wrong, thanks to Nathen.
