bth said:Part of the reason is that the beta isn't really intended for end-user consumers; probably goes without saying but there's limited (or no) support aside from the beta expectations of providing feedback/bug reports/discussion groups.
This isn't complete, but... if you're:
- 18 or older
- Have necessary equipment - exact specs not finalized, though if you have to ask...
- Have the time to sincerely test and provide feedback
- Willing to understand there will be bugs and can work around them
- Willing to go under NDA or other agreement as specified; generally meaning you can't post screenshots (unless otherwise given permission) or openly discuss some issues.
Then you may be a good fit for the beta program. I'm willing to look into it ti see about how difficult it is to get ppl on board, for those interested (reply or drop me a pm), but please think about it and do it for the right reasons No promises, though.
