everyone has that, its a last minute allowance to decline participation, it means nothing to you unless you want to drop out before they make you in permanatly

Question for you all: On my connect site, it lists the "Longhorn" and IE7 beta under "Current Active Sites", but nothing under "Program Participtation Status". I take it that all I have to do is wait?

I have an "Active" listed under Program Participation Status, you might want to double check with MS

Windows Server 2007 isn't shipping until 2007, so why is Microsoft bringing out the beta today. I don't think the beta for the Server is coming out today. No one has metioned being nominated for that, and Microsoft isn't going to mix the betas, so no I don't think so.

yeah, anyone know what the minimum requirements are?

Not what it says on the box, but the REAL minimum.

Correction, the real minimum so you can actually have a good or smooth experience.

I want to use it on a 3.2GHz, 1.5gb Ram, 64mbnVidia G-Force FX machine.l

Windows Vista, Server and IE 7 Betas to Arrive in Synch

Microsoft (Quote, Chart) confirmed to internetnews.com that it will deliver the beta 1 version of Longhorn Server on August 3, along with the beta 1 release Internet Explorer 7.

This says they are shipping together

They have been saying 128mb of video memory for the Aero Glass experience....but I have a feeling they might bring that down....

      I gave up on browser ad-blocking extensions a few years ago, replaced them with Adguard. Not perfect but overhaul is a nice app that does the job on both Windows and Android with the respective versions.

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
