Is it worth applying for a Microsoft Beta Tester?

I'm thinking about going for it but I need more info on if it's worth it and what they expect from you.

First of all, It will take ages to get it .
2nd, You beta test diffrent things. The best part is that you beta test it first until it goes to the public .

Isn't this the entire purpose? To test something before it is released?

There is this website form microsoft: https://beta.microsoft.com/sign-in/signin.asp
But inorder to get access you need a GuestID and I am not sure where to get it.

The best part should be that you can help in developing a product, not that you will have something before anyone else.

Thats your opinion. Not mine .

However, that is not an opinion what I stated, but the job you need to do. The purpose of being a beta tester IS to help in developing the product. It is a job and it has major responsibilities, it is not a "cool" priviledge.

If you want to become a beta tester for the reason that you will have something before anyone else, then think again.

Well Cookie you diden't have to ruine my fun lol.

errrm do you get paid for beta testing for microsoft, i know some people got the final version of the software they tested for free
