Poll: Would you PAY Microsoft for access to TWO release candidates of WinXP?

[Praetor]

I just got an e-mail from MS asking me if I wanted to fork over $9.95 to download RC1 & RC2 of Windows XP Professional.

Now, this is mighty tempting. An actual, legitimate way to obtain WinXP early on the cheap. I would, of course, immediately crack the call-back and activation "features" no matter what, but still....

I did, about 2 months ago, in which I get WinXP Professional BETA2, RC 1 and RC 2. They all have a 180day limit (6 months). So for $19.95 mailed you get $600 ($200 each disc if it were a Gold release of the Professional OS) worth of software that can last you 18 months or 540 days.

10 bucks is cheap why not?

XP: Just say no

I already did


=)

but I wanted a high end platform to test my software that I'm writing out on. so it was worth it tome.

The regular releases are buggy enough, why would I pay for a beta...

Uhh.. Have you even tried it? XP ownz j00!

Seriously. I love it! I just got Beta 2485(probably last release before rc1) yesterday, and It's rock stable.

I signed up for that. Hey! I've been trying to get hold of 2485 beta release. Please PM me with info?

[Fuzzmuncher]
