Is it just me or my beta didn't came with invitations to send out. Try using Help -> Beta Invitations. Let me know if you get the same message saying that you already used all of your invites.

mines says "Hmm, I think you have a bad URL. Can you go back and check it and try again? "

Thats true, i got the invitation, the download now button is visible but it doesnt link to anywhere, that might be because i got the invitation sent to my gmail account!.

Ok, for people having problems with gmail, it works when you view the source.

the problem for me is now that even though i got the invitation and downloaded it and installed, it still wont let me sign in and says that i dont have access to the beta !!!!!!!!.

Some random bugs I am experiencing, using feedback on Connect to report them. I have a n00b doubt about using Outlook express in newsgroup. If I want to reply to somebody's post, what do I select ? reply or reply to entire group ?

It feels it is going to email of the person when I do just "Reply" and if I select Reply to group then it asks me for confirmation "Do you want to reply to entire group ?"...kind of confusing!

What are we supposed to do if we received the e-mail download message. But there is no link to the download?

Well if you can't click on the download link, then look at the source of the email, and copy and paste the link into a new window :)

"http://ideas.live.com/AcceptInvitation.aspx?E911D8F6B550EC8XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" ...good tip. look for that in the source code people if you're using Gmail and it's not working.

View Source --> and look for that line --> Copy, paste and you're good to go :)

Don't forget if you are using Firefox, to right click on the e-mail being displayed and then view source. Don't go to View>Page source from the menu.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.
