Cairo testing selections have gone out.
For reference, we are requiring a Windows Vista environment and a confirmation email within 5 days to preserve your spot.
Thanks,

When our latest Milestone 1 UI was revealed, we had many of you asking, “Where’s the taskbar?” Well, we are here to tell you that we are working on it as we speak. The team wants to make sure it’s a functional, productive, and customizable tool that lends itself to a variety of tasks and workspaces. While it has not yet been finalized, we have a small preview for you to ponder. Enjoy.

Let’s get down to business.
Milestone Information
We are beginning the final preparations for the M1 release. Selected testers will be receiving a confirmation email soon and must reply within 5 days with the appropriate information or they will be replaced.
Copyrights
We are working on protecting our intellectual property, both now and in the future. Enough said.
The Cairo Website
Once the first Milestone is out, we will begin revitalizing the website. What does this mean? Admittedly, we get a little lazy at times, so to commemorate our first of many achievements, we will be including an FAQ page, updating our features page, and performing visual tweaks on the homepage and throughout the site.
**This includes the addition of our donator’s only forum and milestone forum.**
Secrets are fun…

Cairo Milestone 1 registration will end next Wednesday, February 13. If you would like to register for a chance to be a beta tester, please use our online form.
So far we have had over 1000 individuals register and expect many more in the coming days. We will be selecting about 200 testers and will send out email confirmations to selected applicants.
Thank you for your support.
-Cairo Development Team
Individuals wishing to test the first milestone release of Cairo before it’s available to the entire community can now sign-up to register via our homepage. Applicants who are accepted will be notified and sent a download link. Users will be asked to keep track of bugs and feature suggestions, and to keep in mind that the quality of your comments greatly influences the quality of Cairo.
As always, thanks for your support.

Throughout the development process we will be releasing milestones, alphas, betas, and release candidates—milestones marking the furthest from completion and release candidate the closest.
The UI in this image represents a Milestone 1 UI, meaning that we have begun taking all of our UI work and consolidating it towards a final interface. Like Microsoft or Apple, this UI may evolve substantially over the course of its development.
The alpha available soon will be a Milestone 1 release, meaning it will mark the first leap towards getting Cairo out into the world. The UI milestones are not necessarily going to coincide with the release milestones.
Questions, comments, criticisms welcome.
