I've noticed that several folks here have been eager to get official access to the Windows Vista beta builds. Well, it looks like they're expanding the tech beta pool, so here's your chance. I'm not sure how long it'll last, so act quickly if you want one.

Here's hoping you guys get in. :)
 
Woohoo! Done.

Thanks Nets. I'd Rep you again but, must spread reppage.
 
I posted there, looks like they are moderating comments. Bastages! :p

I'd rep you Kunal, but everyone else seems to be doing it, and I like to be different ;)

j/k - rep given :D

EDIT: Guys - post back with your success.

As mentioned in the post, it might take a couple of weeks to get your invitation, so let us know if/when you do get it. :)
 
Most definitely :)

Kinda surprised other people haven't jumped on this, unless they are using the link and not posting :s

I did see some names that I recognized in the list of comments.
So yes, there are more people who signed up but haven't posted here.

hmmm this almost looks like a great spam list, but i dont think the good people at microsoft would do such a thing at all.

anouther bonus to having people sign up

do beta testers get a discount on the final product?
Given the size of the beta pool after all these additional nominations are submitted...I seriously doubt it.
They might have something for people with the highest number/quality of bug reports though.
 
I'm thinking they may close commenting on that post when they won't accept anyone new, but I could be wrong.
 
Technet preregister happening as posted this morning

Preregister


Bink.nu posted this this morning, I copied the links over to my site.

Thanks Bink.

Heeter
 
Signed up, just more e-mail I probably won't get around to reading :p

Anyone hear anything from the blog post yet, it's been almost two weeks?
 
I think it might take a little longer. There were a huge number of signups, so it'll take a while before they go through all of them.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
