Thanks annon
We would like to extend an invitation for you to beta test a version of Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Windows XP Professional for x64 processors.
This service pack beta is really two programs in one. First it is a traditional service pack that contains fixes and security enhancements for Windows Server 2003. It is also a new client release of Windows XP Professional that is designed to run on AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron processors and Intel processors with EM64T.
Regardless of whether you wish to test just the server or the new 64-bit client, we welcome you to join.

you get into thia beta within 2 days of being accepted to WDF
I've been on this one for months now and I can see why their extending more invites, there seems to be just a handful of people actively testing the 64 bit versions, as opposed to a ton of folks playing around with the service pack. If anyone has an AMD 64 platform you should send in a request, I bet you stand a good chance of getting in.
BetaReq if you want to apply to become a beta tester I think...
Hmm that one if for new beta testers, but if you're a Beta tester and want to apply to this one, which is the Beta ID???
