Late to the game... Can you still get into the Beta Program?

[Just a guy]

I just changed employers about two weeks ago.

My new employer gives their developers the MSDN subscription as part of
their compensation package... yah.
My previous employer didn't, and in fact pretty much blocked everything.

Anyway... Now that I am in the door... is there any opportunity to get into
the Beta game for Vista
I have the CTP from February...
But we are very intrested in testing the latest 5365 Build....

I know we can wait 6-8 weeks for the public preview, but we are also
intrested in future builds.

We are evaluating a new multi-million dollar POS system, and we want to
throw Vista at it to see how it works on that platform as well.

Thanks

I personally would wait until BETA 2 becomes public.

I cannot see it listed in "available programs". Perhaps that is just
me?

as part of their compensation package? Id take company shares or something
of personal benefit. I wouldn't count an MSDN subscription as compensation,
its a work requirement where I come from.

It is like a MasterCard commercial, at least to me.
Comming from a place where we had to share a PC to use certain software
packages, to a place where I can have legit access to all the software I
need....

Priceless.

I also too didn't see Vista as an available option, oh well... guess I
missed the boat.
I am the OP of this particular thread... I did the first one from, didn't
realize my configuration for the posting was messed up.


Having access to the software

Make a request, (e-mail address removed) or I think its (e-mail address removed) The
best way to get it now is really, MSDN Operating Systems, Technet Plus or
wait until it becomes public.
