Thanks Philippe and Alan for your posts. The Dublin project is in fact following the .NET 4.0 project by a few months. However, we are in the midst of our final planned coding milestone now and all I can say is that we are working hard to have a broad public release at or before the PDC this year. There are no planned announcements for Dublin at MIX this year either. I hope that helps with your planning and we sincerely appreciate your interest in our project. We are excited about making our efforts available to you asap.

The word is that Dublin will ship "a few months" after .NET 4.0.
The first CTP of Dublin was made at PDC in October 2008, I'd guess beta 1 will be the next drop.
There has been no word on beta release dates yet, but I'd guess that the Dublin beta will be shortly after the .NET 4.0 betas. I dont think the .NET 4.0 beta 1 date has been announced, there's a chnce they may say something at MIX this week.
