J_R_G Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Sorry if this has been covered, I didn't see it so.. Is MS planning a public beta that anyone can download, and when will that be? I thought I read that was happening this month but I don't see evidence of it. Again sorry if this is known info, I did search google.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Max Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I think Microsoft is going to make the beta a little more public this time. It's a very new platform, and I think they're going to need all the help they can get to find bugs ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunamonkey Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 IE7 Beta 2 will be public, unless they changed their minds since August. Not sure about vista. Pretty risky giving away a free OS for people to install and then ask for support on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkaterAustin Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 no no no, beta 2 will have another beta sign up for the public, plus invites for qualified users that are testing something they they think qualifies to test beta 2. Id suspect this beta sign up either a) end of october b) through the month of november. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafirex Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well personaly no one specified for what beta the question was for, if it is for vista well beta 2 will probably be public, but not sure, for other M$ product well they do have some public beta for them, not all but some, and you still have to go true the regular registration process to get in, as you dont get to test anything without giving them anything back in return, they still do require that you provide them with feedback and that you register for a hotmail account.

I imagine they'd do the same for a Vista Beta, limiting it to 180 days or so, didn't they do that with whistler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 If Beta 2 will be public, will this mean anyone/everyone can tell them where bugs are or what they want in Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier1st Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 you are correct HoochieMamma.windows vista beta 2 will be a public download so everyone can try it,beta 1 and pre beta 2 are not for public viewing only the testers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it is considered a Private beta, including the refresh build they are planning to release soon to Support Server 2003 SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
