Vista Beta Nominations.

I have access to the MSDN CTP releases, but was really hoping to give the
interim betas a shot, in particular the x64 version. (I currently run
WinXP x64 as my main dev PC). The link to the MSDN blogs with nominations
has now closed, and it seems everyone on it was not nominated (part 7
anyway). Is there any other way to get nominated?

What can I offer, that others cant? Well full x64 compatible hardware,
with a commitment to test the x64 builds, without bitching about lack of
driver for a 7 year old scanner or USB camera :-)

Cheers.

Unfortunately now is probably to late if you have not been a Microsoft Beta
tester in the past.

Instead periodically check the site Andre gave.
Apply for Betas that interest you.
Then when one comes around you really want, you are already established as a
Beta tester.
 
Get the public release (when it's ready):

I was on the Server 2003 R2 beta, but did not get a Vista nomination :-(

Thanks for the reply... Can't decide if I'll live with the current x64
CTP and it's crippling performance problems, or wait until the public beta
in May...
 
I have registered at this site several times, but have not heard a word...

That seems to be a different program from the technical Beta.
That is referring to the Public Beta which is a different program.
But it is a good way to get the Beta when it becomes available to the
public.
You have not heard since it is not yet public.
