Solidworks 2009 Beta Update

Last week I Mentioned that the Beta program for Solidworks 2009 had some activity.  I have received confirmation that an Alpha version is floating around among Solidworks employees already.  While there is no officially set date for the Beta program to launch, late May is what I was directly told.

So whats the best way to find out when the program will open, my advice would be to follow the Various Solidworks Blogs, as that normally tends to be the place where news 'breaks' first!
