Re: Now I've seen everything (OT-humor)...
It must be Microsoft's way of rewarding their most loyal customers, by allowing them to pay for the privilege of receiving early and thus more likely buggy software versions before the rest of the world gets later less buggy versions for free. It makes perfect sense as being consistent with Microsoft customer experience and expectations, right? :-) -Brucem Original message >Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 17:32:34 -0500 >From: Chris Brenton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Now I've seen everything (OT-humor)... >To: GNHLUG Discussion > >This is just too funny for words.

This is just too funny for words. I had to do some digging into it before I would actually believe it: http://www.pcworld.com/resource/article/0,aid,124047,pg,1,RSS,RSS,00.asp In short, Microsoft is actioning off invitations to beta test "MSN Messenger Live" which, when released, will be _free software_. So in short you are paying MS for the chance to QC their software for them. Once complete everyone else in the world will get the "stable" version for free. Think I need to go check on my dog and my cat to make sure they are not sleeping together and that there's not a 50ft. marshmallow guy outside my house. Cheers!
