Microsoft will be closing its public beta programme for Vista today. Users who want to participate in the beta test have until 30 June to download a copy before it is withdrawn from Microsoft’s website.

The Vista public beta programme was launched earlier this month and demand for the 3.5GB download was so great that Microsoft had to restrict access after fears that it could bring down the internet.
