Tech_Dude_5000 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Man, many of you people that got accepted will probably never submit any sort of feedback to Microsoft so in all sense of the idea, you do not belong in the beta test! Microsoft doesn't just want people to try the software out but also wants some sort of contribution. If you got accepted, great but don't just try it out for a few minutes and set it aside, try and use your lucky chance to actually help Microsoft out...

Digitalx Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 yea its true most people dont even have a company or staff base to test it on for the NAP and wont submit feedback or be active in news groups they just want to have their dirty little fingers on it :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted March 30, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2006 Some of us have been "professional" beta testers as it were for a long time. I've beta tested for many companies, including Microsoft, Activision, Sony, Blizzard, JoWood (no, not Soldner) NCSoft and many others. Being a tester is actually a responsibility I take very seriously, since my feedback helps shape a final produc that (hopefully) many thousands if not millions of people will use. I don't think age has anything to do with it either. Someone 16 can be just as good a tester as someone who is 56. If this guy comes back to the office today and sends me off a Vista invite, you better believe tonight I'll be running on Vista and searching for and reproducing bugs as much as I can. Sure I'll be enjoying the fact I got to see MS's big new OS early and play with it, but hey, that's a perk of being a tester. Why do you think I'm playing so much Auto Assault now? Sure I enjoy the game, but I'm also looking for and reproucing bugs! Sorry for the rant, but I think it's important anyone who gets invited to the Vista beta knows how important it really is and isn't just a chance to play with the OS. And remember, if you don't actually test, everyone on Neowin can blame YOU for buggy code in the final version, HAHAHHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpu121 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Firstly, you have to be over 18 to take part in a BETA program. Secondly you said you were about to turn 16 a couple of weeks ago on your blog (Here to be exact). Back on topic, it Steve has updated his blog to say that he is no longer accepting requests - whether he nominates those who put a request in before he posted the message remains to be seen.
