Hi skgrey,
Thank you for joining the SophosTalk community. The information you know regarding the release of SGN 5.50 and Windows 7 64-bit support is accurate, actually closer to April than March as you will understand shortly.
If you wish to participate in the beta program, as of this posting, it runs from March 12th thru March 31st and you will have to notify either your Account Manager or Systems Engineer to be added to the beta program. There will only be about a dozen customers selected for the beta so get your name on the list as soon as you can.
Just to be clear, a request to enter into the beta program cannot be processed from the Sophos forums. Please contact your Account Manager or Systems Engineer. I do not know all of the criteria for customer beta program selection, but generally speaking, larger customers, with a wide variety of hardware models who will be testing the new features, such as Windows 7 64-bit support, and providing feedback tend to rank higher in the selection process.
Thank you for your interest in the beta program and let us know if you participate.
