Full Version: Microsoft BetaPlace Guest IDs List
@pit: I've taken care of it man.
Thanks Taco Bell. 
If you would be interested in testing the new graphing calculator that we’ll be shipping with Encarta 2006, please sign up on BetaPlace using a GuestID of "CalcGuest06".
@ninja812: Sounds interesting, so thanks man. Info. added to the initial post.
However, after trying it for myself, I don't see the direct tie in to Encarta, so where did you get that idea?

Longhorn is accepting invitations, and it is not through Betaplace.

Yeah you had to be @ WinHEC to sign up for it.Edit* You didn't had to be @ WinHEC to sign up for it, although there was an opportunity to sign up for it.
Well not only WinHEC, I really cant go into specifics but WinHEC was the main way to get into LH, so yes
Anyone get invited into Student 2006 beta yet? I SO want a copy of Encarta
are you testing just to get freebies ! the shame...
No I didn't get into Student 2k6 yet but I did get into the calc. I must say that Student Calc 2k6 must be the most bug free beta I have ever seen.
Talking about WinHec being the way in to Longhorn.... I agree. I had to cancel last minute due to health issues. But the Longhorn Beta is coming pretty darn soon.... I can smell it.... So stay tuned friends!
.... Oh wait... that was the salmon I just was putting into a marinade... my bad... I can't smell Longhorn.... but I know it's coming...

Can I call you Mister Corn Dog? Yes but I agree the beta should be coming around soon. But how soon will a low level beta tester like me get to it? Probably a while.

@OutlandishTrendz/shooter468: I've never heard of that, but from the message, but it sounds like your accounts were simply removed due to inactivity. That is unless just some sort of problem with their system, and the message is erroneous.
I would try e-mailing the MS beta manager about it and see what they say. Unfortunately, I don't have the address handy, but when I got home later, I will see if I can look it up.
In the meantime, look through your various beta-related e-mails for such contact information and good luck.

Nah I think they changed the ID as it got out so quickly. I just tried it, it says the same thing for me, but I can still access the other beta program I'm in.
