I have a feeling though, that they're user specific, so i don't know how you can share them without trouble, but if you can..... PLEASE?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code.Red Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Just wondering, the people that have been invited to test Longhorn, have you tested other software for Microsoft before this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax_Error Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Does anyone actually know what the difference between MVP and Tech invite is? :huh: P.S. If you want to have a chance of testing Microsoft software you need to complete the survey at BetaPlace first (details on the site). I think the Longhorn beta will the biggest yet so more invites will be sent through out the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I am in Canada, haven't got an invite, but I think right now the testing is reserved to people who already tested big products before: like Office, Windows, etc. Beta 2 should be more open to the public than Beta 1. I just got in the MSN Messenger 7.5 Beta Program ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXsub Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 is that the only thing you have to say in all the beta posts there have been tonight? 586244860[/snapback] Perhaps its a computer checking if any people give them links on how to get it - so they can catch em in which case, they might be on to me heh heh.

Porsche Design Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 i specified that i wanted to test longhorn but i only got an invitation to msn messenger 7.5 which is already leaked. microsoft probably though i was too young to test longhorn (14).

Maleko Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 what would be the point of only having people in the US test it? they need people from everywhere to test it with as much of a variety in hardware as possible, so getting people from various localities is essential. they also need to test the localized versions and internationalization features, kind of hard to do that with only one country in the test category.
