Just when I though G was quite famous for roaming with beta's, their rivals haven't been too far either to make a quick dash uphill. M$ recently added a few more beta's for their growing catalogue with the updated release of MSAS and Acrylic.

A new build with version 1.0.613 was released for M$ Antispyware Beta in order to enhance its detection and removal capabilities, including improved Winsock LSP removals and support for long descriptions of categorized software. They have also extended the beta expiration date to December 31 which came as quite a surprise.

Their newest addition to the beta series however is a graphic software code-named "Acrylic". It’s is an illustration, painting and graphics tool which provides creative capabilities for designers working in print, web, video, and interactive media. Designed particularly for XP-SP2 (a probable downside), Acrylic is expected to compete with some of the industries top-notch digital graphic tool creators like Adobe & Macromedia. But it's quite bit of a challenge cos they have already sketched their course to hop in to the next level while the supposing new comers are most likely to be needing crawling time.
