Kevin Duffy presented at the boot camp last month.

I don't remember the exact dates, but I *think* that the beta test
begins some time in the 2nd half of 2025.

His presentation is available off the vmssoftware.com website.

The presentation does not mention beta test dates for Rdb on X86, but
slides 19, 20 have some information on the state of the port.
