| | OT question for jonathan Hello, I am asking here because you must know the answer to this: how can I become a beta tester for windows7? Some say through the connect site, if you qualify... I dont understand what that means. How do you qualify or not, and I looked in the connect site and there was no reference to windows7 yet. thank you ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

| | Re: OT question for jonathan Greetings Zane, I'm not sure, I don't think it's too clear yet. But what was mentioned during the recent public 7 announcements at PDC is that the public betas that anyone can download (as seen in the past for Vista and XP) will continue. Although they'll just be major milestones. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Zane" <someone@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:cc5c$4909c93a$13220@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, I am asking here because you must know the answer to this: > > how can I become a beta tester for windows7? > > Some say through the connect site, if you qualify...

| | Re: OT question for jonathan Hi, In the past, they've lifted a few people from the public betas into the private betas as an entry point. There's no defined process for "getting in" as each beta is different, and in the case of Windows 7, the beta hasn't even begun so who knows. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Zane" <someone@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ae03$490acd51$26494@xxxxxx Quote: > no i mean a REAL beta tester that actually gets a free copy of the OS after the beta is > over if you file bug reports.. > > I was in the public beta of vista... but I want to become a real beta tester of win7 > > > > "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:uG9PQGtOJHA.1164@xxxxxx Quote: >> Greetings Zane, >> >> I'm not sure, I don't think it's too clear yet.
