How to: Possibly be chosen for beta testing 1 2
by Redmondian- 25 replies
- 5k views
I know there are a number of very clever people that post here at NeoWin. I've personally been involved in Beta Testing for Microsoft since Microsoft Windows 98 (not SE), and can really recommend getting involved in the beta programme. It's a great way to learn and to have fun, it has other rewards to! so email betareq@microsoft.com Good Luck! :whistle:

With initiatives such as 'Windows Unbound' and 'Windows Activity Centers' I feel like Microsoft is really going to make some significant changes to its OS. But I do feel apprehensive at the fact that MS may introduce something like Palladium, which in my opinion will only hinder Open Source Movements such as Linux See here for 'United Linux'. I feel like we are being given something, but at the cost of something else.

- 6.3k views
I'm a person who uses the computer everyday, mostly for web browsing, email, instant messenging, music, and super-graphical games (I have a GeForce TI4200 128MB vid card). Right now, I'm using Windows XP Professional and I'm pretty happy with it. If money is not an issue, would there be a point in me upgrading from Windows XP to Longhorn when Longhorn is released? What advantages will I get from upgrading, considering the things I use my computer for?

I though I would try to get LH to work on my system. I got Abit KT7A-Raid so I left my main drive that has Windows XP Pro on the raid chain and put the slave drive that has LH on it.
