Guys quit asking for the invite code. We can not give it to you. if you didnt get one, you didnt get one. so be it. just quit asking.

So, what's the invitation code since everbody's is the same?

not necessery. and again we can not give it to you so quit asking.

It's been said time and time again in the thread that only Microsoft can send you an invitation with a code.

Right, and its getting really annoying to hear people in every other post "can i have a code" plz send me de codes" blah blah blah. Just stop it, nothing much changed in it anyway, as said in the e-mail its an early bulid, so it may just look like an updated 8.5. we dont know.

Just like with the old 3xxx longhorn bulids. they looked just like XP, because well, it was an EARLY ALPHA!!!

Why are there even threads like this? I don't get the point, the beta hasn't even started it is 'pending'. I am so not excited that i got the invite.

Why do people post comments like this just to raise their post count. no one reads these comments anyway.

so? may be it matters to some..... I'm a huge techie and a wiz at computers and love trying out and testing new stuff...

every party has a pooper :rolleyes:

For everyone who did not receive an invitation

This beta is limited, the product team only wanted about 1000 testers, that's why so many were invited outside of the private groups this time. It's going to be a managed public beta in good time, so just sit tight for an invite! Check out my blog for information about the new beta. Screenshots will become available when we're givin the word :).

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
