It also works for me, but then I'm already IN the beta.

Try going to http://connect.microsoft.com and singing in first.

I didn't apply for the preview before it "closed," but I tried to and already had an account... maybe that has something to do with it?

Anyone know how many slots their are?

If we are selected will we just boot our consoles up on Wednesday and just be prompted for a downloadable update?

MN said there are a few thousand slots.

Maybe you'll be given a redemption code to enter at the Marketplace and then you'll download an update file or something. Either that, or they'll flag your console for the update from their end (hence why they asked for your ConsoleID) and then you'll be prompted to download the update at next boot up (probably most likely).

Think you nailed it right on the head with that one.

Ugh, I get that weird error also, and I don't see the survery! ARGH
I just found out that that the preview program is now FULL. Now it's time to go through the thousands of applicants. Thanks for your interest and good luck getting in!

If someone puts it up for download I'll be the first to snag it and put it on a CD. I have loads lying around that I don't use.

I doubt you'll be able to just do that. I think they flag the consoles that have been accepted (via the ConsoleID) to have the update, so if yours isn't flagged you'll have to wait the extra couple weeks. :p

He's talking about the InvitationID which is automatically filled out for you if you used this link: https://connect.microsoft.com/InvitationUse...&SiteID=719

Otherwise, if you go directly to https://connect.microsoft.com/ the InvitationID is XBOX-G37M-QYWQ.

Invalid invitation ID :crazy:

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
