Sign up to become a beta tester 

http://beta.microsoft.com/ & use the Guest ID BetaReq  <-- that's the wrong site for signing up for the beta test anyways.. it's http://connect.microsoft.com

oh btw there is so many dvds u gotta download for the beta testing. we got the normal Vista x86 and x64 builds along with all the check builds etc plus the windows longhorn sdk beta 1 has just came into play a few ago.

you dont "have" to download all them, you just download what you want to test. At most a normal tester will be downloading one dvd per build, not all 8 or so of them that are available.

Why would he need to?

Microsoft *has* had OS testers younger than 18 (in the Windows 95 beta, we had one tester who was all of *nine*, complete with his own beta ID). So he wouldn't necessarily have to fake anything.

Actually, my *not* being in beta 1 just yet gives me a chance to shake down Windows Server R2. (Not the new features, but stability testing.)

You also don't have to.

Microsoft does not have, nor have they ever had, a floor age for operating-system testing. Besides, *wake up and smell the Starbucks*, people: the largest group of new computer users aren't adults, but *students*, and not even college or high-school students. We're talking middle/junior-high and even elementary-school students. (And it's even more so *outside* the United States.)
