12/22/2005 Are you brave enough to be a beta tester?One of the cool things about my job is that every once in a while I get to give something away. I've recently got word that I can nominate a small number of people into the Windows Vista Beta program. (Perhaps you've heard of Vista? It's kind of the all-encompassing 800-pound gorilla at work right now.) You may also know that Vista is a closed beta at this stage (although it will open up in the future, I'm sure).
But there's an unusual catch... the testing program is looking for novice or home users. So if you're an ITPro, hang in there, but this offer's not for you. The program includes full support from our PSS group. Now, I don't know exactly how many people can get in, and I don't know how quickly the program will fill up. You also should realize that Vista is going to require a fairly modern computer, and, like all pre-release or beta software this will occassionally misbehave and could potentially even corrupt data. So, although we are looking for novice users, if you get easily frustrated or flustered by software, you might want to pass. On the other hand, Vista is really cool. This is a friends-and-family program, so my nominations would go first (obviously) to my friends and family (who I figure are about the only ones who read my blog). Drop me a note by email if you're interested. (This blog posting is provided as is, and conveys no rights. No one's acceptance is guaranteed, and the offer can be closed at any time.)
