newsgroup to post it to please tell me.

Vista. i was wondoering if anyone knows of how i could beta test this new

It will be a while before it is open to public beta testing. Possibly

years.

Check back in about 2 years, there may be a Beta 1 version by then.

No, Windows 7 is the code name for the next Windows

operating system that is now in the very early stages of development.

It will not "replace" Windows Vista, but will supersede it

with advanced technology. Please see the following:

So yes, if it supercedes Vista, it will take the place of Vista.

Carey's answer still stands. Microsoft Beta Testers are typically by

invitation only and closed to the public. Once the code reaches a certain

point, Microsoft often releases pre-release code to the public (betas and

releace candidates) and accepts bug reports and feedback.



If all you want to do is use Windows 7 before it is released, you don't need

to do anything except wait for a public preview. If you want to Beta Test

Windows 7, then submit your request at the link provided.

i did, but there seems to be nothing about windows 7. i just have a

question. how do you get invited for beta testing? how does that work? i'm

not 100% sure of that. because i was invited to beta test vista and office

2007.
