Update: The public betas for SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 are now available to everyone!
Microsoft announced on Monday that the much anticipated public beta of SharePoint 2010 (as well as the beta for Office 2010) is now available for download. There is, however, one small catch in that the download is currently available only to subscribers of MSDN and TechNet. If you already subscribe to either service, by all means, get thee to a download site:
If you don't currently subscribe to either service, but just can't wait for the open public Beta to get your hands on the 2010 goodness, be advised that a subscription to TechNet will run you considerably less than an MSDN subscription.
Note: Before installing, don't forget to determine hardware and software requirements for SharePoint Server 2010.

About John Anderson
John Anderson joined Bamboo Solutions as Manager of Content & Syndication in May 2008 after a 12-year career at AOL. New to SharePoint at the time of his hiring, John was tasked with creating a new blog for the just-launched Bamboo Nation community in which he would document his daily SharePoint learning process. Thus was born the end user-centric SharePoint Blank, for which John authored 200 posts within a year, and which he continues to write today. John writes SharePoint Blank in addition to his responsibilities as Bamboo Nation's de facto managing editor and, while he has learned much about SharePoint in his first year, he gleefully awaits the release of SharePoint 2010, and the reset button that release will represent for SharePoint Blank.
