Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software maker, began offering software developers and technology partners a trial version of its next major upgrade to Windows on Wednesday.

Those developers, who will work on a beta that lacks the main graphics interface, will report bugs and other issues that need to be fixed before the software is released in the second half of 2006.

It looks as though MSDN [msdn.microsoft.com] subscribers now have access to Windows Vista Beta 1 downloads. Any beta testers out there with first impressions?
