I understand that it only works with MCE pc's, but what I am asking is if they will provide you with one for the test if you do not already have one.

What would be good is if they gave you a copy of MCE if you didnt have one so you could enrol in it

i dont think so, but they might

New BETA Guest ID: wInr2nOm

nope, they wont accept you, YOU NEED A LEGAL MCE PC TO GET ACCEPTED.

Anything new? Things seem to have dried up.

Just subscribe to this topic/forum and you'll be notified by email everytime theres new additions/posts

No you won't DPG as sometimes the original post is just edited with no additional replies.

In any case, the new additions are marked as such and naturally it seems Microsoft is kind of taking a break for the holidays.

Nothing for the Ms AntiVirus Beta test?

I don't think that has started yet...unless I missed something.

Does anyone have the ID for the MSN Messenger 7 beta or the windows xp x64 beta?

Thanks

@BigChesse: The MSN Messenger 7 beta is so far along now that it has a public beta program, so just download it from here.

The Windows XP 64-bit Edition also has a public beta program, so just go here for that one.

P.S. Welcome to ieXbeta.

someone might want to add this one to the 1st post as well:
MS_BetaApp - MCE 2006?
i dont know, check the thread:
http://board.iexbeta.com/index.php?showtopic=50665

Added, so thanks for the info. DPG.

I don't think it's mce 2006...

apart from the fact that all the questions were related to Digital Video/Images, TV, PC, "If you have an MCE PC"

yet, its not about MCE

@harrisonh1: Indeed DPG! Just ignore the generic title of the program man and look at the questions!!!

I never said that it wasn't about MCE, I just said that I don't think it is MCE 2006.

@harrisonh1: Yeah, that was clear.

Well since 2005 is already released, I think 2006 is a safe assumption for the time being.

eh, you guys need to get more observant :-P

ooh, that was my bad

About what?

hmm: it could be mce 2006, or just a far-off thought: longhorn MCE

I wonder why they would just call it Microsoft Beta Program unless when they was creating the guest id and all, they just forgot to name it before making it public.

I can confirm from an inside source that the Beta "MS_BetaApp" is NOT MCE2006, but is "new digital media experiences on Windows consumer PCs". No software name is associated with it yet.

Hmm, well that's interesting information DarkEX and welcome to ieX.

In that case, I've renamed it to "Untitled Beta Project for Media Software" then.

If you guys would look around a little, you would know the name.

@harrisonh1: Come on man ... if you've found it, then why don't you just tell us?!?!?! 'cause the mysterious beta hasn't tempted my interest to look.

Yes, I already saw that image when I signed in to check the guest ID, so are you simply referring to the fact the filename is called "Emerald"? 'cause that doesn't necessarily mean much.

or do you mean the MSBeta_app thing is for Longhorn?
Im confused

He doesn't know shit, he is trying to act big...

Yes Microshit, that's exactly what i'm doing. You are so good at saying stuff that you know nothing about. :-)

rofl: i seriously doubt that its a new Systems Management Server beta because... hey wait a sec it could be a home media server OS

anyways: just cuz the name of the pic is Emerald doesnt refer to a codename or anything.

Topaz, Emerald = Microsoft Systems-Management-Server 2003 Version 2.5.2389

Looks like a new crappy logo of office

But isn't this related to media??

it might be. i remember when i signed up for it, the logo was an orange (maybe red) circle which said "insert logo here"

ROFL

Well, the codename actually is Emerald, so

@harrisonh1: I need real proof for that codename to be true man. Not speculation.

Hearsay does nothing but dulls the truth and clouds reality. I would rather that people have solid evidence instead of whatever floats along. Such is another episode of foolish gossip drama.

I have no way that I can prove it to you, but that is the codename. I assure you.

@harrisonh1: Well then I have no choice, but not to believe you, so let's drop it until someone else comes along who can do just that.

alright, that's cool :-)

Emerald is taken, and theyve never reused a codename, so i cant believe you

That's fine
