In the past there have been a variety of ways to get into the MS betas for the OS's. Is there anyway to still participate in the Vista beta? I have not had a chance to test it out so I am just anticipating and going by what I read here and elsewhere.

Just hold on for a bit longer. Very soon, probably in June, Beta 2 will be released to the public. I guarantee if you don't hear about it elsewhere, we'll be shouting about it here.

I read somewhere online that 2 should be coming out in the second week of June...has anyone heard the same thing?

[dazzlin]

That sounds about right, but I think it's still a little iffy as to exactly when. Soon though.

Yes your right June! I wanna get me hands on it then we can all chat about what we think of it: all hail VistaBabble!

That is great news Dazzlin. I was non-plussed about it for a while, but then I came across this site and now I am really anxious to check it out. Some of the features I think will be nice.

Yes.....I can't wait to run what is appearing to be a very buggy release of Windows Vista, unless you are submitting error reportsto windows I suggest NOT D/L ing windows vista because otherwise it will severely get your hopes up or put you off..

[dazzlin]

Oh you should definitely understand that it is a BETA and only run it as such.

[W.Harbaugh]

It still leaves a good or bad lasting impression on you.....depends from person to person, but the average consumer wants to see results in the first one...

[dazzlin]

True, but I doubt the average consumer is going to go through the trouble of installing a full OS that is beta. If it were just another piece of software, maybe, but a full-blown operating system? That's a scary prospect for the average person.
