How do you become a beta-tester

[Brian J. Babiuk]

Please excuse my ignorance, but how do people make their intensions
known to Microsoft that they wish to be beta testers. I see that there
are a lot of people like myself, that wish to test these products out of
curiousity, but aren't. To anyone that is a tester....please advise!

Additionally, if you work for a company with a testing group, it is
possible that Microsoft will not allow you to be an individual Beta
tester. I used to be an individual Beta tester, but they have begun
refering me to my testing group instead of getting the software
directly. I now function as a second-level tester and forward my reports
to MS via my testing group.
