+    <p>Samba 4 is the ambitious next version of the Samba suite that is being
+    developed in parallel to the stable 3.0 series. The main emphasis in
+    this branch is support for the Active Directory logon protocols used
+    by Windows 2000 and above.</p>
+
+    <p>Samba 4 is currently <b>not</b> yet in a state where it is usable in
+    production environments. Note the STATUS file,
+    which aims to document what should and should not work.</p>
+
+    <p>With 3 years of development under our belt since Tridge first proposed
+    a new Virtual File System (VFS) layer for Samba3 (a project which
+    eventually lead to our Active Directory efforts), it was felt that we
+    should create something we could 'show off' to our users.  This is the second
+    Technology Preview (TP), aimed at allowing users, managers and
+    developers to see how we have progressed, and to invite feedback and
+    support.</p>
+
+    <p>The uncompressed tarball and patch files have been signed
+    with the Samba Release Key (ID 157BC95E).  The source code can be
+    <a href="/samba/ftp/samba4/">downloaded now</a>.  See the 
+    <a href="/samba/history/samba-4.0.0tp2.html">release notes</a>
+    for more information.</p>
