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 :).

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
