It means you'll have to wait until they email you again.

This could take a lot of months.

Its an e-mail everyone gets when you sign up to be a betatester. It just lets you know that they assigned an ID to your account...wich you will need once they do select you to test something. It's a confirmation of you applying, nothin more nothing less.

Weird you get that a month after signing up tho...i got mine way faster.

guess means that tons of ppl are signing up :undecided:


RE: M$ beta tester e-mail by ShawnZ on 08-16-2005 at 12:55 PM

It means you've been accepted and are now just waiting for them to match you up with a beta that isn't full already. You can sign in with your beta ID anytime (afaik)
