thanks

I have been using the beta since 5308 and even as a newbie I understood that not everything will work properly. I submit my bug finds and usually from the response back I am able to decide what to do. I came here only to ask a simple question about when the next private beta was coming and I found a bug posting from Vista (submitted already) so I ended up posting the same question 3 times-sorry guys. After browsing through this newgroup I have to thank everyone who is submitting help to the users-my hat is off to you-Josh, Andre, Mark D V, and others I fail to mention. I see too many multiple questions on the same subject from different people and at least one guy that should lose his subscription to MSDN. Am I one of the only testers that had very little problems with installing drivers and programs and tried workarounds thoroughly before asking questions? It is a beta and it was spelled out that you should only use on a test machine-not your work machine. I actually have a fully operating triple boot configuration-XP SP2-5381-5384 on this machine. So, again, thanks to everyone who is on here to help-god bless-I will check in every once in a while to check your sanity level *_*

What a nice post. Have fun daddy3! Paula

MSFT's criteria for "losing a subscription to MSDN/Technet" or anything else is not giving them the money they want for it. They need it for things like paying Ralph Reed $27,000 a month until the day it hit the press and it was explained to Ballmer what Ralph Reed really does. You have MSDN confused with the Knighthood the Queen bestowed on Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, and Anthony Hopkins. MSDN ain't the King Arthur's Round Table.

The last situation gives a whole new nuance to "Clear, Confident and Connected" m ore like "Clear, Confident You're tapped and Data Mined."

There was one suscriber that was complaining about not getting the next beta after he quit the program and was going mental on everyone trying to help in this newgroup-that is the kind I was refering to-they were so patient when I know what they would really like to say to him
