WLMessenger Beta Gift


Recommended Posts

Goddammit. I just checked now, and it seems my shipping address hadn't transferred from the old MS beta area. I only had my home address entered. Looks like there's no free gift for me :wah:

I figured that out too. What crap is that, at the minimum they should have made the shipping address default to the home address if they weren't going to tell anybody about it. Luckily though, I sent an email off on the 16th about the Vista beta dvds so I know I atleast did it at minimum that day. Sent it off at 4pm and the cutoff was 2pm but I remember wanting to wait to send it so I think I may have changed my address before 2pm.. I hope. Sucks that I have to wait and see like this. It'll be oh so disappointing if I missed the cut off. :pinch:

I did :| No harm dreaming though :laugh:

But i think it should not be a problem..I mean look @ the gife every beta tester for MSN 7/7.5 got : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1109233576023

its ~52 bux

Now the phone is about 48 bux more but they have a lot less beta testers to send it to this time

Lets get our hopes up :woot:

I'd adore that phone. I just wonder how it actually connects to the Computer. I hope it's not through USB or I'd be ****ed as hell since I use my laptop as my main computer and it'd suck to bing it with me every time I go from my bedroom. XD But yeah. I wish I got that phone, altough the Lifecam VX-6000 looks kinda cool, since I need a webcam for my laptop. My laptop's monitor is too thin for the Communicate STX.

If anyone fancies sharing the link to download the content I'll be happy as it seems a shame that managed beta testers dont seem to be getting this email,we've worked harder than anyone else.

Here but it won't do you any good if you didn't get the nod from MS to download it. Still, you can at least see what we are "missing".

I'm a managed tester but I fear I won't get a gift shipped to me unless they ship to P.O. boxes.

"We?re sorry, that e-mail address does not appear to be eligible for this exclusive offer. Make sure it?s the same one where you accepted our invitation."

Also, Why was my thread closed? This thread is totally different than the other thread and mine has been there longer. Why?

Did you read my post?

Hmm.. I'm a managed tester. But, no e-mail.

Managed testers aren't getting this.

Are people sure a shipping address had to be entered, and the shipping company would not just use the home address?

On the announcement on the connect page it just says 'an address associated with the connect account' or something to that effect.. *shrug*

i was a first generation Beta tester, i got invites from the beginning. i never recieved this kung-foo crap email. i really really hope i do not get that as a gift, or i will be super ****ed.

i was told to update my address too, so they must be sending me something in the mail :D

It could go either way since they don't mention, specifically, a shipping address. However, with that being said, I wasn't sent my Vista DVDs because of the shipping address being left blank even with the home address there.

why did they need us to update our address if this is all their giving us??

If you're a connect beta tester, that's not all you're getting. As per the message on the connect page, our addresses have been sent to the shipping company but the real gifts have not yet been sent.

Yes but we will be a getting an even better gift than this silly theme file. No offense to non-connect testers :whistle:

The theme pack for WLM for all beta testers has been out for ages! I found it on google yesterday. So yes they did give people 4 free themes for all beta testers, but they are also sending everyone whos a beta tester something else, as why would they have asked for your shipping address if they were just going to send u an online theme lol.

Unfortunately, it's too late to update your shipping address. The deadline was two weeks ago, so if you haven't by now you won't recieve the gift.

I just double checked, I got my shipping address there! (yay!) now we play the waiting game.

Question about the 7.0 beta, did they annonuce they were going to be sending out the webcams before people recieved them?

If they did then I don't remember. I got a package one day and it was a webcam. It's be nice if it were one the new MS webcams this time around.

    • For me, the fundamental problems with these "smartglasses" is that they really don't work well for people with significant prescriptions and massively up the price if you use attached lenses if they have displays, and if they don't, then they're not actually "smart" anything, rather just connecting to your phone and relaying voice to an AI. In a few cases like this, they throw in small cameras to feed video to the AI. All around, these feel like both a solution looking for a problem, and the problems it tries to solve seem more easily solved by different approaches and designs. Oddly, if the rumours are true, Apple may actually have invented something for once and it kind of does this right: put cameras in ear buds and manage the interface to AI exactly as most of us do: tapping on an ear bud and saying "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri." That makes them compatible with almost everyone, can double up as a hearing assist device, an impaired vision assist device, a "smart" device... and answer your phone and play music. That just seems like a better solution all around.
    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
