Hi, This article will give you a pointer to becominga Beta tester for Microsoft, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833520 It's worth a try but I am not sure if they'll accept public testers because of leaks that happened with Windows 7. Regards, Barry. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George Bell Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 2:47 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: thinking of doing beta testing with microsoft It can be fun, however I would stress to Microsoft that you are not a standard user, in so much as you use a screen reader. Be prepared however that there's a strong possibility you will have to re-format your system at some point. Indeed best if you can to have a dedicated system at the start while any major bugs are ironed out.
