OS 8.5 Compatibility Comment
I was a beta tester for both WinME and WinXP (and back to Win95 even), and all I can say about those of you with system crashes... they fixed all the bugs that crashed my As it will be much cheaper to get a new OS with the new box, I might do that. What do you recommend -- you seem to be hooked on XP pro?

A calm discussion of eCS vs CPs? (was Re: Warp 4 Fixpacks)
I know I will eventually have to upgrade to an XP-like OS, because new programs or hardware will eventually emerge that require it, but that time is not here now, and I don't see it being an issue for a long time yet. Until then, XP is (to me) a beta OS with no redeeming qualities that favor it over the OS I'm

No go on 6.26/6.18/5.32 drivers but yes on 5.22 drivers
Use W98, read the Resource Kit, then I'll discuss with you whether W98 is a new OS or a bunch of patches to W95. Patty Stephen Murgan wrote in message I am interested in what works, and works well, and not in paying for the privilege of becoming a beta tester. Stephen, Would you consider fuel injection a

Here is what they wrote: "We have researched and are quite educated with Windows Live Mail; we were part of Microsoft's invited beta testing long before it this group and I'm here because someone from Microsoft Communities referred me to you guys. I'm new to Windows Live mail and have been enjoying it so far.

Windows 2000 conning
I know my company was encountering some difficulties with a beta test of the OS. I expect Office 2007(which I have) has similarities to the Vista interface. I have to admit, it's driving me rather crazy, trying to find familiar pieces of Word or Excel that MS has decided to classify in a new way.

News from RISCOS Ltd 18/05/01
Moving to a new OS has high costs regardless of whether or not "trouble is expected". That's because for any admin worth his salt trouble is *always* And just how many pieces of hardware do you think any enterprise site is going to donate to the beta testing program and run anythintg of any significance on it?

Windows ME support by Creative?
Rhapsody was'nt killed - it was renamed "Mac OS X" and Mac OS Server" officially, and the code name "Rhapsody" was dropped. All Mac OS projects have a code name - from the top of my head, 7.6.1 was called 'Ides of Buster" (I was a beta tester at that time, I still have my "Ides" archives) and the new one, 8.6,

SOLICITATION: Beta testers for Toyland, new OS/2 game
Going this route generally causes a lot fewer problems and eliminates the problem of a new OS install corrupting a previously existing OS install. So I'd like to know the constraints on a partition to be used to install Windows ME. Ask in one of the newsgroups for beta testers of Windows ME.

Amiga OS ? Let's do it !
If the average end-user isn't able to beta test it, who's beta testing it? UNIX, Linux and WinNT boys -- people who are not representative and whose needs are often No matter how much I love the new line, I can't use them, any of them. If OSX becomes as unusable to me as Apple's current hardware line, I'm gone.

OK, Microsoft BLEW IT with 98
There was more than sufficient warning sent out in the press, if I am not mistaken, about a new Operating System under development. Furthermore since these bugs were reported to them in beta thru the in OS bug reporting system and extensively discussed on the MS run beta tester boards well before ship makes

MEPIS Linux Does the Trick in a Business Environment
I've built 4 machines and all are AMD, though I might make me a Pentium machine someday, just to say I did it. Secondly, I am a firm believer that a new OS isn't worth running until it's about 2 years old. In other words I won't pay for the privilege of being a beta tester. Here is what I understand about XP: It is

Give it to me straight, no shills please
Odd that they could ping me from 10.1.10.1 which is the same address as my new modem/router. Malesa in a small one, and that I'd know their response by the people who come Maybe those really trying to get someone mad, what level of protection do you think is a test.

My Choice (OS/2 vs NT)
And even every other previous beta and CSD of OS/2 has been distributed over the Internet. If it was legal then, it's legal now. IBM just doesn't want people to test this new version, I suppose. Gosh it must be full of bugs. I'll try again. First off, if you compare IBM's policy on releasing this Personal OS/2 beta

2008.1 beta 2 is out
A beta tester should desire to be helpful to others and want to the test a new OS to make it a great product so that when it is finally released to the public it will work for them. I just wanted to test it out. The funny thing about it is it doesn't ask me for an activation key. Must be a really old beta.

That said, it really wasn'ta productive day, so expect to spend some downtime with your new operating system. Check back tomorrow to see what I discover next.

OS/2, Windows, EEP concerns
This to me does NOT make any sense at all. Well if you understood my post the problem is not with being a beta tester, which I am told the list is Thus we can test the new OS before making it active. I do believe that Kermit has decided to push 4.0 and is using the release delays to developers as an excuse.

PATRICK PARIS -- STINKING HUMAN WASTE, GET THE FUCK OUT NOW ...
For RISC OS 5 you surely have to do more. And after all these changes are done, RISCOS Ltd will have to test the new OS. And then you can read the following statement at http://www.riscos.com/select/ : "At present Masked ROM's [...] are on 16 - 20 weeks lead time. With Beta testing time added to that schedule it

OS/2, Windows, EEP concerns
There's quite a benefit to at least seeing a new OS before it's done, because you're at least a little bit familiar with the changes that have been made. Without paying $1500 for an MSDN subscription, or being a beta tester, there really isn't any way to see the development of the latest and greatest.
