ATLien_0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 thanks i signed up in firefox, so basically is there anyway to submit those surveys still to enroll in longhorn Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/341957-longhorn-beta1-invites-are-out/page/2/#findComment-586185180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) do u think siging up with firefox was a bad idea? :rolleyes: 586185175[/snapback] Haha, that has no affect at all of course. They don't care. In fact I'm hoping that this portal works better with other browsers. If they want you over to IE, they'll make sure to do a good job with IE 7. Edit: willvg: No, there is no survey, there is no guest id, there is no nothing that you can do right now to get in. If you weren't added yet, you will just have to wait and see. Large beta programs such as Windows frequently are reserved mostly for older testers who have been around a while and have done a good job, at least at the beginning. There will still be chances I'm sure, but if you have never done testing for MS, or have never submitted a single bug report, then I would be crossing my fingers for a chance to get in if I were you. Edit #2: Oh yeah, I forgot that I wanted to mention that your best bet right now is to fill out the Potential Beta Testers form by using the guest id "BetaReq" in betaplace (yes, betaplace, beta.microsoft.com, not Microsoft Connect). Though that has no link with LH, so don't expect it to get you in or anything.

HellBender Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 How do you test with Microsoft? I can never find the beta IDs :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/341957-longhorn-beta1-invites-are-out/page/2/#findComment-586185204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 How do you test with Microsoft? I can never find the beta IDs :( 586185204[/snapback] HellBender: Read my second edit in the post above yours regarding the BetaReq ID. That's your best bet for getting your foot in the door if you have never tested for them before. After you get into a test, your BetaReq stays on file to get you into more, and if you do well, the teams will call you back for subsequent tests.

AJerman Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Just an update. I'm almost positive that this is only invitations for Tech Beta, and not the normal beta. So this is merely a fraction of the total number of testers that will eventually make it in.

michaeld Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Remember that Beta 2 will be available to the public and will be much better than Beta 1.

Also, shouldn't this be moved to Back Page News, as we can expect a flood of new users and traffic due to the coming release...and leak.

Tomi Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I'm a R2 tester, but I've been pretty inactive in the program , hope this won't damage my chances of getting into the Longhorn beta. *shrug* Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/341957-longhorn-beta1-invites-are-out/page/2/#findComment-586185914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Just to clarify for a few people, there is nothing to download, and likely won't be for quite a while. It will probably be a good 2 to 3 weeks before we see a build up for download still. I'm a R2 tester, but I've been pretty inactive in the program , hope this won't damage my chances of getting into the Longhorn beta.*shrug* 586185914[/snapback] If you haven't done anything, you wont be chosen just because you were in a beta. They will look at people who contribute. That doesn't mean you won't be chosen at all, it just means that they will be less likely to chose you.
