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 :)

send one invite to office 12beta [email protected]

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^^

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. ;)

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.

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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
