Go to the Microsoft Beta web site to sign up for the ones you want.

NOTE: If you are a new to beta testing, then you can use the Guest ID BetaReq--after signing in with your .NET Passport ID. You can then fill out a general survey about yourself, your machine, and your habits. Submit the survey and wait. Microsoft will notify you when they have a beta for you to test. Most questions about this are answered at the About Microsoft Beta page.


I would appreciate it if anyone can contribute to this list. Especially with rare Guest IDs to beta programs that are still running.

I thank everyone who has given and continue to give new additions to this list. Every contribution helps those who view this list. :D

BetaPlace will be phased out sometime in the near future. Definitely a sad thing to know when looking in retrospect at the creation of this list. Hopefully we'll benefit from other's contributions to get into new testing opportunities and new beta testers will find this as a new hobby regardless of what Microsoft decides. - CK13 (22Oct05)



Last update: November 11 (removed Windows (Package) Installer 6.2--WinInstBeta)

[Sim31]

Ah, Great! We got a newly updated list thanks to you :) But would recommend taking the ones that doesnt work anymore.

[::daedelus::]

Ah yes, the currently pinned post is a pain in the backside having to search through it all looking for ID's, it really needed updated but oh well there's a new list now. :)

[CrimsonKnight13]

Just let me know which ones don't work and I'll put *Not Working* near each one, and I'll put as *New*.

[Sim31]

I would but thats alot of signing in and signing out since it ask for you to do that right?

[Taco Bell]

Well RedTerror13, you jumped the gun on my plans of waiting until February, but I appreciate your enthusiasm. I'll double check your current list later tonight and go back through the the old post in the next few days to make sure you didn't miss any. **title/description edited & topic pinned**

---

The following guest IDs were either outright invalid -or- did not come up with a program listing and have therefore been removed from the original post:

• MSN 8.5--MSN85BETA {It's been released!}
  
• Microsoft Office 11 (Old)--GEXTSU {It's been released!}
  
• Windows Messenger 5--WINM5BETA {It's been released!}
  
• Media Center Update Beta US--mcebetaus
  
• Media Center Update Beta UK--mcebetauk
  
• Media Center Update Beta GER-mcebetaGER

Well my guest ID checking got interrupted due to problems on the Microsoft server, so I'll have to try again later. :P

I don't think it's designed to handle all these attempts in a row. ;)

---

Got back to trying this again and removed the following additional guest IDs:

• HIS 2004 beta--HISuser
  
• PCSatisfaction Trial--PCSATTRIAL
  
• MSIB 2.0 Beta--MSIBBeta
  
• Deployment Accelerator--BDDTechEd
  
• Microsoft Reliability Service Trial Release--mrstrial
  
• PDA Voice Command--VoiceCommandReq

That takes care of the current list.

[CrimsonKnight13]

Thanks for the pin. I figured I'd make it easy for people to see. :D

[Sim31]

May also want to edit the post to include something like... View: Beta.Microsoft.com

or

Go To Beta.Microsoft.com to sign up for the ones you want.

This is to make it easier on the users without them having to Open up a new window and typing in the address manually or having to type it in the current window and then loosing the guest id he/she was wanting then having to go back to reload the topic. What do ya think?

btw... This Guest ID doesnt work either may want to remove it...

Thanks for the tips, I greatly apprectiate it. I fixed it with no problem :doctor:

[CrimsonKnight13]

If anyone has comments/suggestions/complaints, please post them here. I would ask that any avid beta tester help me out with adding and deleting MS Beta Guest IDs.

[Derek]

Microsoft Encarta 2005 beta has already been shipped.

Well the announcement of Encarta's beta participants, and in turns its availability, was just made today Derek, but yeah indeed the beta has "shipped".

Also, as suspected then, the guest ID doesn't work anymore, so I've removed it (Microsoft Encarta 2005--EncartaBetaGuest).

[Nightwind Hawk]

MSN_TV_Beta is gone too. ;)

[Aluminati]

Anyone have the ID for the new Live Communications 2005 Beta?

Thanks !
