wow... I just tried the link and get the same thing now... except i can access my servey... maybe it was a limited time deal.

Just been reading through the comments on MajorNelson.com, and it looks like most of the people who get the error message are from the UK. Methinks they're not allowing us in it! :(

I managed it... yesterday, maybe its just ended for sign-ups for now.

I'm from the states and it gives me that error to now when I follow the link. I think they closed it now.

That or too many people tried to sign up in too short amount of time and we broke it :p

Needless to say I'm glad I was keeping close watch on MN.com yesterday and saw his post minutes after he announced it.

you and me both. i really hope i get to try it early.

Who sleeps for 10 hours+? I agree it's a bit ****y to give the americans more chance to get in, but they are their number 1 customers...

No one, but who wakes up and logs straight onto their computer to check Major Nelson's blog? I can imagine a few people here would but it's not something everyone does. Most people don't go on the computer until they come home from school/work.

It says that they will let us know who got accepted on Oct 29, seems like a long wait.

Next Wednesday? Less than a week? I don't think that's long at all...

So they wanted to get a fully representative sample, but only had it open for 10-12 hours when Europe was asleep? Really clever stuff...

I'm sure it would have stayed open for longer had the slots available for sign ups not been filled so quickly. No clever business here. :p

    • Where is the "Wow!" emoji? This'll have to do 🤩
    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
