RE: Microsoft Beta Tester
I am.  It isnt hard to become a beta tester.  I am currently Beta Tester for Microsoft MSN Messenger 7.0, Microsoft Baseline Security 2.0, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2.

RE: Microsoft Beta Tester
What are the responsibilities of a beta tester, aside from reporting bugs? Or is that all?

"Beta Tester Role

A beta tester is someone who installs, tests and reports bugs for a product. Your role in our testing process is crucial as it helps to ensure that we are releasing well-tested, high quality products that meet our customer’s needs. As a beta tester, we rely on you to provide feedback regularly. If you are unable to actively test and report bugs or do not wish to test a beta product that you have received, notify us by sending e-mail to the program alias found in the specific program section within the ‘Enrolled Beta Programs’ area of this web site"

RE: Microsoft Beta Tester
Funny thing is I cancelled my .NET Passport, and I had forgotten I used that for the Beta Microsoft.

I contacted them and they changed it! :cheesy:

But I'm still not approved. :rofl:

I can't remember when I signed up. But I have a lot of time on my hands, beta testing would help me not to get bored. :tongue:

Hack, hack, hack!
Finally became a Systems Analyst! :spam:
