SISO Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Not exactly abtm, I'm sure they aren't done sending out all of the invites so for those who haven't gotten chosen there is still hope. :yes: Of course, what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzykotic Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Last night, I was included in the first wave of invitations. Although I did somewhat expect to be, not to sound arrogant but I've been testing since ...perhaps Windows Millennium Edition (or thereabouts). Congratulations to those who were invited. To those of you who were NOT selected, better like in Beta 2 and Beta 3 (if it comes). Just to make Guru jealous (like he attempted to do to everyone else here). I'll go post the tests I've been in.

pzykotic Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'm pretty sure there will be more. Just saying, if you don't get picked -- there's still hope later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poof Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Who gives a s**t about which betas you were enrolled...Oh, btw, I was in for Windows Update 4, 5 and Microsoft Update 6, Office 2003, WinXP SP2, and in for Longhorn... oooooh, I feel so proud, I think I'm gonna wet my pants... (pathetic) 586236367[/snapback] Well, Microsoft is the person that gives a crap... He was giving that example so that the person knew how he applied.. He didn't! He was just sent a "Hey, join this beta" from Microsoft from his other betas... Lucky him. =) ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poof Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Does anyone know if more Beta 1 invitations will be e-mailed? 586239027[/snapback] I can hope more are mailed.. a Friend of mine that's first MSFT beta was Win98 didn't get his invite... And he's tested everything from 98 to XP. *sigh*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chsoriano Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I just got my LH Beta invite yesterday, I was pretty happy. So they're still going out I guess. I was already betting that I wouldn't get invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeshy_cn Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I was beta tester for windows SP2 and windows server 2003 :cool: 586236350[/snapback] Windows XP Sp2 seemed to be an important sweeptakers for longhorn BT. I should've applied for that one. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeZuZz Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Stupid question, but where do you send a request to be beta tester? I saw some link once, but that required an invite id... I signed up for about a year ago, but guess what - i was selected as a beta tester for windows update - is that like the most uninteresting beta project or what? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
