Special BETA Tester Edition SP2 Discs Arrive


Recommended Posts

I guess this is why it's the back page news...It's like old news update. :whistle:

Boy was that clever. If it's so old, why did no one post it? News was posted that they were going to do something, but no one had posted they arrived yet. If it's old news to you, just move on. It was new to me and many others here.

LOL. Well, yeah, it is the same CD, but I guess the cover is different. That's the part that counts. ;)

Actually, I'm not a beta tester, and my packaging is exactly the same (nothing is black and white, everything in color), with only one difference: the back doesn't say "I came through for SP2", and instead it contains a sort of "envelopey" look to it where they can print your name and adrees to mail it to you. I picked three of them up at Circuit City.

In short, 99% identical, except for the nice shield on the back. Pretty cool that official testers get different packaging though. At least they can brag to their friends. :laugh:

I must say it's kinda a crappy gift for what we went through! lol Oh well...wow my carboard sleeve says I'm a beta tester...it's the same damn cd as the one's you order...even same part number. The least they could have done was maybe flash us some gold cds liek we got with MSN 9.0 beta.

i got mine yesterday :D its cool but the cd looksthe same as the sp2 cd MS sent out to everyone but its a much apperciated gift :)

by the way RDX1, the sleve it comes in is different from the ones people get online, look at the first post before making stupid comments

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
    • They should show the onedrive recycle bin in a searchable manner and on app not just on the website
    • You looking at a phone or something? On my 4K HDR monitor it is frikking spectacular.
    • The Surface Pro 7+ already has a USB C port which can be used for everything you mentioned, except for eGPUs. Meanwhile, microsoft have gotten rid of ALL of the following that are present in the Surface Pro 7+:
