ATTENTION ALL GAMERS
and other beta testers,

I saw when I was going and using VB8 Express, you recieved rewards, like icons, an e-book, etc, but I also saw on the 'Other Betas' Part, Microst was letting you test games for them. So I thought I'd post it here. Try it out! Register for an Express program and go to Claim rewards and then on the menu on the right click 'Other Betas' and try betas of Office 2007, Game Studios and more! biggrin.gif

Enjoy,

I cant give an exact link at the moment, but i will try. I'll edit when i've got it. The reason is you have to be invited to do it. I got invited because I registered Visual Basic 2005 Express.

So basically you need to buy a product that you can register, then get invited join up and you might get to test their games? Or did I misunderstand something.

  4. Microsoft Silverlight Technology
    A new addition to the Windows Live family (3)
    Microsoft has released a new development platform (I think it is) called Microsoft SilverLight. It
    is supposed to bring rich, interactive, streaming media into a cross-browser, cross-platform
    environment. (Personally, I think they are ignoring Opera). The development team is working hard to
    get this running on Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. They are adding support for "major,
    leading browsers" quickly and efficiently when possible. Macintosh users (for Mac OS X) can also
    download this application which is under 2MB in size. You can download SilverLight 1.0 Beta ....

    (8)
    Hey all As a supporter of open source software and a user of Linux, I am angered at Microsuck's
    latest actions and lawsuit threats towards Linux Kernel, GUI, OpenOffice.org, and many other open
    source applications. All I have to say is, why the wait? Most of the stuff they're COMPLAINING
    violates their patents is OLDER or JUST AS OLD as Windows. Also, they're leaving a lot out of
    the lawsuits: Linux is based off of UNIX so they would have to then sue the creators and/or users
    of UNIX... but wait, it gets better! They would then have to sue Apple because Mac....

    December 12th. The source article: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...ory/929433.mspx
    Personally, I think most problems would be solved if people simply didn't open email attachments
    from unknown senders. I mean usually there is no reason to be opening an attachme....

    I've been watching this Webcast on Novell's website about the "merger" between Microsuck and
    Novell. If you haven't realized it, it's Microsuck's attempt to spread it's evil
    monopolist ways into a GOOD company. The entire thing is BS. Microsoft interested in Open Source
    software (SuSE linux)??? NO WAY! Not only can't Steve Ballmer say "Free software" (see this
    slashdot article: http://it.slashdot.org/it/06/11/13/1432221.shtml) but he can't even

    and sometimes it takes a while for X to show up. My Firefox just upgraded to Beta 2 and since Beta
    1, it has been greatly improved! A new theme has been made to replace the older default theme and it
    comes with a new security feature where it checks sites you visit against possible known phishing
    sites and will warn you. One bug I noticed is that it likes to decrease page font size (Ctrl+-) on
    it's own sometimes. Also, another cool feature is that when you close ....

    Messenger 8 BETA as it's called now can add, view status, send an instant message, include
    emoticons and send nudges/buzzes to contacts who are using Yahoo Messenger. As of now, you

    to provide a seamless experience between offline email management and the new Live™ family of

  14. Microsoft Music Service?
    The scoop. (5)
    On CnnMoney.com, I read today (June 19) that "sources say" Microsoft is developing a music service
    and device to compete with Apple's iPod and iTunes. It will be a pay-per-download service with
    an optional "all you can eat" monthly payment. It's supposed to be more user-friendly as far as
    finding new artists or having a music community online. I guess that's the big hook, because
    obviously it's not going to work with anything but WMP PlaysForSure devices. The sources said
    that they already saw a prototype of the device and heard the great things about ....
  15. Adobe Threatening Microsoft
    May strike a deal (11)
    Summary : Microsoft included a "save to PDF" and XMS (their format to 'rival' pdf) feature
    in the office 2007 beta, which has been made available to the public for quite some time now. While
    adobe does sell their own product to create PDFs (around 240$ I believe), this feature has been
    included in Apple software, OpenOffice.org and some others for quite some time. Yet when Microsoft,
    their so-called business partner, jumped on the bandwagon Adobe threatened to counter with legal
    action. They wanted Microsoft to remove the feature from the retail version and....
