Beta Tester

[ancker 0]

I was just curious as to where all of you signed up to be a beta tester. I have looked and looked but I can't find a sign up form anywhere..

 

I'm sure it's too late for XP but could one of you point me in the right direction so maybe I can be a tester of Windows 2010.

 

Thanks

Here's a cut-n-paste of the info you request:

 

 

To submit your name for consideration for Microsoft private betas, send an email to betareq@microsoft.com, with the information below. The subject of your mail should be the name of the product you are interested in beta testing. If you are interested in testing multiple products, you must submit a separate e-mail for each product of interest so that they can quickly filter your request to the product team handling this program. If the subject contains anything other than one beta product name, it will automatically be deleted by Microsoft's mail servers! Do not put "Microsoft" in the subject line.

 

 

Name (First, Middle Initial, Last)

Company

Street Address (no PO Boxes)

City, State or Country, Zip

Phone

Fax

Internet address

Product interested in beta testing (if more than one, please submit separate e-mail requests)

Brief description of your hardware configuration.

Have you been a beta tester for Microsoft? If yes, then list product(s) that you've tested. Please briefly describe your past or present beta experience and how you will be using or applying the product(s) you are interested in testing.

After the above information had been received, it will be forwarded to the specific product group for review and consideration. Due to the volume of requests Microsoft receives, you will be contacted only if selected to participate in the beta program.

Make sure that you are honest when describing your hardware configuration. Don't think that by overstating your system's properties that you will have a better chance at acceptance. In fact, as a former employee of Microsoft, I happen to know that they are flooded with beta requests from users with powerful CPUs and lots of RAM, and that they're looking for users with average systems. Because they sell their products to a wide variety of users, Microsoft is looking to test their products on a wide variety of systems, so tell them exactly what you have, even if it's not something you'd want to brag about.

 

Hope this helps!
