Would beta testing require internet access as the machine i'd install on would not be connected?
It's not listed in the requirements but I want to make sure.
**edit**took the survey anyway, what kind of things do they want and how does making me a beta tester help them? Do I end up sending a report on what I thought about it or what**/edit**

the Guest ID is nothing much... besides you need to fill out a nomination survey. It just tells you about the product. Here's one for you... type in BetaReq to request that you want to become a beta tester... ooooohhhh... I said it...

No, you dont get it.
He thought it was illegal to just post id's on forums, unless people were specifically sent an email stating that they had been selected to get in the beta. Smartass.

I need this soooo badly.
I got in on server and data, both of which I didnt need.
I decided to try out data backup, enrolled, but never filled out the form...and now I dont seem to be enrolled in it any longer...whatever
Ms sends me invites that I dont need...and leaves out the invites that I would love to participate in.

It's like that I believe when you use the BetaID, when your accepted you should be able to see it under your currently enrolled programs. So just wait till you get accepted!

I believe this is a rule on the Neowin forums, but unfortunately the members are not able to provide you with further information on how to signup because it will then get into details which are not to be distributed with other people.

I dont know what "mod" did this, but giving away the keys is fine, according to their web page, as long as the key goes to the correct target group.
If your a student, and can prove it in any way, shape or form that is appropriate, then send me a pm, and you shall receive...
