Re: When can we order V7R1

Jack, the beta, or early-ship program, is something available only to business partners, whether hardware or development. And anyone on it has to sign non-disclosure agreement with IBM. For ISVs, it's about determining whether there are any incompatibilities with your software - or to validate for a new compilation model, as at 6.1.

So civilians really can't participate in any way that I'm aware of. We're an ISV and have participated in the program. Although this year we used a virtual loaner box that was made available, since we don't have enough hardware to assign to it.
