Is there a way for the average person to participate in the Windows 7 beta?

Here is one way to get a copy appscout.com/2008/12/want_a_windows_7_be....

The Windows 7 Public Beta will be available sometime early 2009. Keep in mind that while Windows 7 is based on Vista, there is always driver issues to be worried about when running a Beta version of an operating system. It's highly advised not to use a beta OS on a production or working OS drive, but rather to install a fresh blank hard drive for the OS to use.

The best way to get into a microsoft beta is to attend one of their pre-launch events for the product. See the below link. msdndevcon.com/Pages/start.aspx Anyone can register and attend these with no restrictions.My wife came with me last year because she wanted the free copy of Office 2007 professional they were giving away...lol.

You could always request an invite here: connect.microsoft.com/ No guarantee that they'll accept you, but it's worth a shot.

The only way for a non credentialed person to participate in the Windows 7 beta is to be a member of the Windows Feedback Program (WFP). Enrollment in WEP was suspended in January 2008. You can email [email protected] to notified when enrollment is reopened.

The Windows 7 Public beta, which is available for anyone to download, is expected to be release sometime in the second quarter of 2009.

The upcoming beta release of Windows 7 will be a public beta, visit this site connectbeta.microsoft.com/Connect/feedba... and sign up to participate in the beta when a date is announced.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
