on connect.microsoft is says welcom to the cev program and it says you will be able to test new products such as msn messenger does that mean im in the beta team?

under my partication
all the  programs there are the ones you are on the beta team. if it doesnt say anything then you are not on any team

Someone care to explain what connect.microsoft.com is?

I'm enrolled in 3 MS betas at beta.microsoft.com....

connect is their new betaplace...


its sorta a more user friendly and community style beta zone..

say a mix of newsgroups and beta place..

The page on Connect is misleading. Only when you recieve a welcome email are you a part of the "beta team". Nothing else matters.

Because they arent quite ready to close betaplace and move to connect, so they're still using it?

If you are going to reply, why not reply with something usefull or helpfull? No they did not forget about Microsoft Connect (Very stupid reply btw). It's just that all Microsoft betas are not going to be put on connect. From what I have been told, in good time all betas will be on connect .
