    I love microsofts products, there may be a glitch here or there, but with periodic upates, it resolved within a few weeks. I would love to beta test for Windows 8, I was a windows 7 Beta tester and absolutely loved reporting back important information about program compatability as well as operating system stability and reliability to Microsoft, it was a great experience, and Im sure it can only be better with the coming of Windows 8.

    Thanks Faisal Mohamed

    Would definitly like to get in on beta testing Windows 8! I Beta’d Vista (sic) & Win7. The last was beyond a joy & breath of fresh air to work with, as it appeared to work flawlessly the first time I booted it up. I wasted no time in buying the retail version (got a deal for $89 through Costco). I’ve also beta’d Office 2007 & 2010, the later I didn’t see much improvement over 2007, though I do not really get into doc production/writting.

  • Larry Adams

    I also would love to test Windows 8. I tested Windows 7 in its Beta state and was impressed with it then. I am also willing to build a machine specifically for Windows 8, same as I did for Windows 7.

  • Avery Follett

    Hi. my name is Avery Follett. I would love to be a tester for Windows 8. I was also a tester for Windows 7. I am 15 years old and I think that it would be great for me to test win 8 for a younger age group. I hope that you accept me.

    Hello, my name is Michael. I’d be most grateful to be part of the
    Windows 8 testing, I’m doing a double major for IENET
    (hardwarenetworking) so I believe this would be an awesome experience
    to also be able to take part. Also I’m in the general age group of
    people that use technology the most.

    Thanks,
