The only way (well, legaly, anyways) to obtain a copy of Whistler beta is to become a Microsoft MSDN Subscriber, which costs about $2,500. There are other ways Microsoft hands out betas, but for the most part this is the only way someone can go about receving a beta without having some connection to Microsoft.

"Send a blank e-mail to betareq@microsoft.com
You'll get an autoreply as to how to proceed.

Whistler is not much more than Win2000 with a facelift at this point.
So expect Whistler performance to be about equal to Win2000 SP1 w/ DX8.
At least at this point."
