Well Done WiNBETA, well done.

Build 5048.winmain_idx02.050401-0536 (built 01/04/2005, only 25 days ago)

A few hours before WinHEC starts the WinHEC VIP event had started. I may have screenshots of the new Longhorn later as I burn the DVD and install it on my laptop but we’ll see if I can be bothered.

Neowin has a good picture that sums up what came in the x64 briefcase:
x64 Case for VIPs

nVIDIA 6800 Ultra
AMD 64bit 4000+
Windows XP 64bit Professional Edition
Far Cry
Chronicle of Riddick
Unreal Tournament 2004
Shadow Ops

Also supposedly an XBox 360 picture leaked and the MSN Messenger 7.0.0814 build that “leaked” is completely fake, a fool by Inky and Ahmed (MSN ResHackers). However, I won’t downgrade – it has the cool always on top button ;)

Edit: http://digitaldj.net/5048 will include any screenshots I put up, the longhorn background, the SFV for the 32bit release and the NFO for the 32bit release.
