QUOTE Lähettäjä: <*@microsoft.com> [means sender] Lähetetty: 17. marraskuuta 2006 2:20:08 Vastaanottaja: <*> Aihe: Thank You From the Windows Vista Beta Team!!! [title] Please do not respond to this e-mail. This mailbox is not monitored. If you have questions about this message, please contact us at LHBeta@microsoft.com. Please note: due to Microsoft security requirements, the hyperlink(s) contained in this e-mail may not automatically open your browser. If this happens, please copy and paste the link into the address bar of your browser. Dear Lasse, We would like to take a moment to thank you for your contribution to Microsoft Windows Vista. Quite simply, it would not be the product it is today without your time, dedication and thoughtful feedback. You should be proud to have helped us develop the highest quality, most secure and most reliable Windows to date. To say "thank you" we would like to provide you with a complimentary copy of Windows Vista for your use. QUOTE If for some reason you are unable to accept this gift you may decline by clicking "Decline Invitation" on the "My Participation" page on Connect. Details: We would like to offer you a copy of the software and a product key for Windows Vista Business Edition or, if you are eligible Ultimate Edition. You are eligible to choose Ultimate Edition if the machine on which you intend to install Windows Vista already has a DVD drive and is currently licensed for DVD playback, i.e., you have already licensed one or more pieces of software for playing back DVDs · This is a full retail copy intended for your personal use and not for resale. · It is being offered as a download only. No media will be mailed. · Only currently active, invited members of the Windows Vista technical beta program who filed at least one bug are receiving this offer. QUOTE · After accepting the offer terms you will be immediately be given access to download the software. · You may install and use the edition you chose for 30 days without a product key. Simply click 'next' at the product key prompt during setup, continue on and choose the appropriate edition from the list. You will be able to enter your product key at the activation prompt at a later time. · We will email you when your product key is available for retrieval on Connect. In general this should happen within one week of your acceptance of the terms. Again, we thank you for all your contributions during the beta!! Thank you, The Windows Beta Team I've dropped lines out that contained the addresses. But have to say, having filed some bugs myself and having been feeling a bit sad to cease from using it this was a great start of the day =) I was expecting a lot more strict rule for group of people getting the copy, but apparently they really can say thanks. -------------------- This person is best talked to with the help of a computer..

for me they have already promised it.. but for those who downloaded and participated on the public beta2 and submitted bugs - they won't be getting. So only if you were "in the beta" you ocould have those.
Well okay they are not gonna send us the box, its a downloadable image. And key too =) I also have heard that the image is somehow watermarked or something. But may I heard what source you heard it from ? And what exactly you meant ? -------------------- This person is best talked to with the help of a computer..

Oh, just another forum I vist there's a beta tester and he was complaining about not being given a full copy.
I don't think I have access to a copy, the company I'm at are Gold Partner's or something as well as MSDN subscribers (how I tested) so they get cheap licence's anyway. We do have a copy of RTMF that one of the guy's is using already though, I should get it for my Vista machine ;) -------------------- bash-2.05$ cd /pub
