Does Microsoft send betas to other emails besides MSN & Hotmail?

Yes, me at gmail....

First big beta that I will actually be doing, was offered Server '03 R2 though and said no.

Can't wait to test this mama.....

And to everyone that wanted and didn't get :p

Why does anyone care. Honestly. OpenOffice 2.0 was released. It's amazing, no point in wasting time with Microsoft when you have such a great free option like that.

Not everyone likes openoffice. It works like crap for me. And stop trolling the thread.

no need to troll my friend. as the thread title clearly states, this is the Office Beta 12 invites page. If you got one, great.. share your joy. If you didnt, or if you feel that a diff. product is better, we're sorry.. but dont waste a post space!

BTW: I use linux a lot and use OpenOffice.. so don't think i'm bashing it.. it's a great product and I'm sure no one here really cares about it in this thread :)

lol sorry my friend but Microsoft betas (most) don't work like the gmail/30gigs/watever else email invitations do. They're closed only to those whom Microsoft chooses! sorry :)

Same as above^^

[SamNeeds]

branislav, he has no invites to "give out". If you want to sign upto the beta you have to sign up at Microsoft - forgive me but i dont have the link to the page where you can sign up to it.

typical MS they give beta invites to some kid that only joined up to get the betas!

and they leave out people like OEM system builders and Microsoft partners. who have tested things more complex than a stupid Instant message client.

ROFL no your incorrect if you were a real oem or partner you need to have gold status and you would have already been getting vista builds 2 times a month or more and maybe some office 12 builds. ;)

[shihchiun]

Got one too, although I don't know why they sent it to my ISP email account instead of my Gmail account. :blink: I don't remember signing up with that address...

i'm sorry but is office 12 only for oem system builders? no, it's for everyone. and therefore a variety of people need to be chosen for the beta. just because it does not include you specifically does not mean anything. I understand your pain, but your argument is still not justified.

Very true, and they had a free competence test a few months back which would have given him early access to the BETA.

I have all the correct paper work from MS to say iam a real OEM. i might not be shifting 100's of pcs every week. but i sell about that each mounth. and i have asked MS if small OEMS will get access to the Vista betas and i was told no. only selected beta testers and MSDN subs will get access to it.

I was jsut stateing a fact thats all, i did not in anyway shape or form say that this beta was for OEMS only.

MS jsut seem to pick people that know f all about computers and how to beta test software properly over some one thats got MS credentials.

[ObiWanToby]

Wow I was accepted too!

i doubt you know the majority of the testers and their standings in regards to testing. besides, it's not only aimed at OEMs and partners, as they focus on admitting the layman as well, considering its a major consumer product, so they probably like the average user also submitting suggestings and bugs. Sorry to burst ur bubble of ranting..

Anyone can sign up for gold partner status its something like US$1200 a year. not bad for constantly getting builds.
