That he had some bad beta testing experience. Where the program wasn't checked roughly before it was send out to the testers... I guess

PS: Don't spam!

oops! i had no idea that not many people would understand me well yes, people who didnt check it out properly, sending it out and destroying parts in computers etc.

I have actively participated in numerous Microsoft Beta's in the past.. noticibly:

1. Windows 2003 Server Edition
2. Microsoft Office 2003
3. Windows Messenger 5.0
4. Windows XP SP2 (When it was private)

Currently am participating in afew betas, but we wont go into any details . Its actually a fun job.. You have access to pre-release software, and usually have some fun whilst testing and reporting your bugs on the newsgroups that Microsoft provides.

But wene testing the software, Does it mess up your computer any?

All of Microsoft's products are in a fairly well developed and tested stage before they even reach the beta testers, so generally, no.

This probably happens to afew people with beta's such as XP SP 2 which modify major files in the OS.

You are warned and not supposed to run the beta's in a live production environment, and you accept all responsibility and liability to lost work if you do.

Ohhhhhhh Ok.....I was thinkin that if you test it for them and it messes up your comp that they would replace it for you
