I dunno if this goes in this section but... I want to become an MS beta-tester and i cant DL the files i need em sent to my mailbox... wat do i have to do to become an MS beta-tester?

first of all wrong place

they don't get sent to your mailbox you dl it or request them on CD.

and I don't think you'll get an answer on how to apply for beta testing

maybe you'll get but then again its too late for sp2 and longhorn I guess

to become a tester, you have to be nominated for it.

occasionally if you go to betaplace.com you may get chance.

as for the dl, they are never sent to a mailbox (electronic i'm implying), however snail mail can be done.

Moved to Windows XP

well i'm a current beta tester for a few, Office, Windows Messenger 5.0 Beta and Windows Update 4.0.. if u want to nomiate to become a tester, goto http://www.betaplace.com and follow the instructions on the frontpage to enrol and u maybe one of the lucky ones that get in

i been signed up at betaplace.com but the only invitation i got was for this crappy vocie command prog for PDA and i dont have a PDA so i didnt apply... do i jus wait?

Not many get into the Windows and Office beta programs. Those are the most popular ones, and 1000s of people have signed up on betaplace hoping to test them. Your best bet is to turn back time, and sign up on windowsbeta.microsoft.com 5 years ago. Like I did.

Sorry, but really, if you get invited, your very very lucky!

Remember; There are lots of other programs out, like the Rosetta MySQL Reporting service.

Good luck

Same here...Ya, your best bet is to go to BetaPlace and send them an e-mail...That's what I did, and then I received an envelope filled with the Beta 2 Kit for Office!

wats their email address?

well wat u should do if even u get inviations like that , u take them.. increases ur chances to participate in bigger betas.. i started with windows messenger, and now i just recently finished beta on Office and started a few months ago on windows updates 4.0 beta.. so even if u cant really help with the testing, take it and u'll be pushed up the order of prefence list

lol i sent them a convincing "professional" e-mail saying that i been using microsoft products since Win95 and how much i would rly like to participate in beta-testing and wat kind of beats i would like to participate in i should get a reply soon... u think i sholud have sent it? or not?

well ya didnt have to if u have enrolled but they probably would be impressed with ur enthusiasm

THis is they reply i got:
