Before the public Beta 2 release came out, I was sent an email from Windows Feedback Panel to enable me to beta test Windows Vista Ultimate. They wanted me to install it on the PC that had Windows Feedback Panel installed on it..

When I am finished testing, they are giving me my own free copy of Vista.

I can't guarantee that if you join you will get to beta test, but it is worth a try...

There is a typo in my title. It should read : A Possible way to get a free copy of Vista when it comes out..

I couldn't figure out how to edit the title for the thread.
Dazzlin, can you help me out with that?

[dazzlin]

Wish I could, but it won't let me change it either.

[mojavekroc]

Well,

Thanks for trying Dazzlin..

Here is the letter that Microsoft sent me back in May...



Dear Windows Feedback Panelist,



As one of our valued customers, we invite you to participate in a program to preview our newest operating system – Windows Vista™.

Windows Vista is beta software. A beta is a pre-release version of software that is distributed to a limited set of people in order to test the software’s functionality and receive important feedback. This will help shape the released version of Windows which will be used by millions of people around the world. We also believe it will be a lot of fun to work and play with the very latest software.

If you decide to participate, you will receive a beta version of Windows Vista to try out, and we ask you to report any problems you find to help improve the version of Windows Vista we release to the world. Your participation is completely voluntary; to thank you for participating we will give you the final released version of Windows Vista! To learn more about Windows Vista, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.mspx.

As a participant you'll be asked to install Windows Vista on the computer where the Windows Feedback Panel software is installed, once you receive the DVD and installation instructions in the mail. Please note that Windows Vista Beta is only available in DVD format, so a DVD-ROM drive is required for participation.

After installing Windows Vista, you will continue to use your PC just as you do today. The Windows Feedback Panel software will operate on your computer, collecting a small amount of data about how your computer is working and how you are using Windows Vista. We ask that you use Windows Vista for the duration of the program. This program is scheduled to start in June and end when the final version of Windows Vista is released.

During the program we have arranged for you to have access to free technical support from Microsoft Product Support Services through a dedicated 800 number. Phone support will be available Monday - Friday, 5:00am - 9:00pm PST, and Saturday - Sunday, 6:00am - 3:00pm PST.

Click the link below to register your interest in the program by May 16, 2006.

Thank you for your support of the Windows Feedback Panel!

Sincerely,


Jennifer S.

Oh. For some reason, I though he was talking about a way we might get RC2. I thought the post was on top with an unread thingy and that I had made sure all my unread thingies go away.
