Okay, I just stumbled across this and thought I would share it with you, this tells me that Blizzard will have an open beta before commercial release, still no date... sorry to say...
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/misc/stresstest-faq.shtml
Once the stress test is over, will I be able to play in the beta?
This sign-up is only for the 7-day stress test. The beta test is completely separate and is taking place on different servers from the ones on which the stress test will be conducted. However, later in the year, Blizzard will hold an open beta test for World of Warcraft, and anyone with an Internet connection is invited to participate. Please do not contact anyone at Blizzard about the open beta test. Blizzard will post an announcement on their Web site when the open beta is ready to go live, so please check there periodically for more information.

My dog barks some. Mentally you picture my dog, but I have not told you the type of dog which I have. Perhaps you even picture Toto, from "The Wizard of Oz." But I warn you, my dog is always with me.

i think the stress test is mainly for "server hardware & software" testing. open beta will go live shortly before the retail release... and there will be at least 2 pushs (updates) in the closed beta.
KK, What I posted (the title post) is an excerpt from the stress test FAQ, which is posted at the link I provided, above the quote, regarding someones question... I provided the link, where I found it, the question it was regrading and the entire answer from Blizzard.
The stress test is not an open Beta test. However, that answer assures us all, that there will indeed be an open beta test of WoW prior to release
I will look forward to seeing you there!
