Well the Beta pages are back up as of this morning, and the download link takes you to the download center. There isn't a 2009 Beta file listed yet, so stay tuned, I would imagine it will appear shortly.
UPDATE 11:30am PST- The 2009 Beta file for Windows XP, & Vista 32 Bit and XP 64 bit are now available via the download center.
I have received a number of comments and emails asking me direct questions about functionality inside of Solidworks 2009. I have to say that no matter how much I would like to share with everyone all the new stuff, I simply cannot do it due to license and non-disclosure agreements. The best piece of advice I can give you is to participate in the program yourself, and explore the new stuff. At the very least, download the What's new document and reading that will give you a good overview. I will try to release stuff that doesn't fall under those agreements, and from time to time we get bits of information that we are told can be released.


is it a KGB top secrete? WTF does it mean "non-disclosure agreements"?

Waiting on the download is like the night before Christmas...it is the longest I ever had to wait for anything. I am such a geek!
