If you were a beta tester (by definition) AND submitted a bug, you will get
a copy of Vista. If either of those do not apply to you - no product. If you
were a consumer that utilized the Preview Program, you are not a beta
tester. It is very easy. The official beta testers that were truely into
testing the product did not expect any return for their efforts. Why should
you?
