I mean if your efforts don't really have a good prospect of actually succeeding (within a reasonable timeframe that is) I don't think it would be fair towards to community to ask them to abandon their efforts of getting this version released...
The game's producer told me he "probably" has a build of the game. He's currently checking but he's also trying to contact the former head of Westka Entertainment (the studio that was working on the port) as well. Finding the beta is likely the easier part. Obtaining permission from Ubisoft to release it would be the bigger hurdle. That's where the head of Might & Magic development at Ubisoft comes in. He said Ubisoft hasn't done anything like that in the past but he said he's "not closing doors". That's what I have so far. I will update as soon as I know more.
Oh and I should also note that they both seem enthusiastic about helping with the effort so that's always a good sign.
