I'm affraid I'm still stuck at "Pending".

[harrisonh1]

are you active?

[depl0y]

Finally speed is catching up, just a couple of hours left. And about that NDA, I dont think they mind me posting some screenies of my MSDN Universal subscription ;).

[Poof]

Gah. Those screenshots aren't fair... I'm still stuck at Pending like so many others. T_T

[daimon]

At least some of you are in the Connect program. I have signed up but I just cannot get into any of the programs.

Lol, I am now checking this thread for phun

[ew2x4]

Lucky ass people. No testing for me. Maybe I shouldn't have applied using Firefox....

[Poof]

heh. Don't be blaming the Fox... I signed up that way too... And got in... =P

[ew2x4]

lol, well there goes my theory. Now I blame dumb luck.

[depl0y]

But your download is probably for free, while mine is paid for EVERY year, for about $3000 or so ? (I really don't have a clue how much it is).

[P!P]

Any rhyme or reason as how to they are switching people to Active? Sign up date or name or something?

[daimon]

Any hints on how to get in the Longhorn Program in Connect?

Like backdoors :p

consider yourself lucky to even have a chance to beta Vista, unlike us non beta tester/MSDN folk :(

[daimon]

We are not supposed to download stuff from other people's Connect accounts, right?

Just asking ;)

[ernicoats]

mine still says pending as well

[neovader]

I'm still stuck at "pending" also. I found this in the connect faq:

What do the different statuses on the Program Participation Status section of the My Participation page mean?

When a customer requests to participate in a program, his or her current participation status can differ based on the program requirements. The following are the statuses that can be displayed on the My Participation page:

Invited ? The user entered an invitation code, but must complete a nomination survey to participate in the programPending ? The program administrator must approve the customer's request to participate in the program.<Active ? The user is actively participating in program and can access the program from the Current Active Sites list.t.

Rejected ? The user was not approved for participation in the program.

Removed ? The user was removed from participation in the program.
