   Yeah, poor lab animals!

   Will wait for my master, Windows Update, to alert me to the patches. I don't install any patches until Windows Update tells me to do so.

3. Comment - Microsoft Signs New Mira Partners, Preps Beta

   (Mar 14, 2002 - 5:22 PM)

   Only top XP testers got an invitation, but you can still try to get in. Send a blank e-mail to betareq@microsoft.com and they'll send you an auto-reply with instructions on how to apply for a MS beta.
   
   Now, what's this Wireless Networking Beta that you're referring to?
   
   Also, I'm curious exactly who they considered a "Top Bug Tester for Windows XP." I got an invitation, but I'm wondering if anyone who sent feedback on XP got invited (which is how they determined who got a final copy of XP), or if they actually looked to see who had the most/best feedback. Because I know I sent a lot of feedback on XP.
   
   Please post here if you hear back from MS re: your Mira status. It said "you will only be contacted if you are selected to participate."
   
   WARNING TO POTENTIAL NEW MS TESTERS: Though I mentioned above that anyone who sent feedback on XP got a final copy, don't go into a beta test just to get a free product. They are not and clearly state throughout the test that they are not obligated to give free copies of the product to anyone. And during the XP test, they were considering not giving free copies, or only giving them to the very top testers. So, be sure to work hard and send in as much feedback as you have time to, and if you're lucky, you'll be rewarded in the end. But you should still feel lucky if you're chosen to participate and have early access to a pre-release product. Sorry, but I had to say that so I wouldn't get in trouble from MS, and I don't want to hurt the MS beta program.
