No, he might have gone to a conference.... like everyone else but I
doubt it cause he lied that time about getting the upgrade three weeks
before the real release...


It isn't surprising that you apparently think the only way to become a
Microsoft beta tester was to attend a conference. There were and I
presume still are many ways and within beta testing, there were groups
testing different aspects of distros and sometimes at difference times.

The "real release." What a laugh that is.

Well then harry, why not tell us the details of how you became a beta
tester for Microsoft? You got a minute right?



I filled out a form that was sent to me by Microsoft in the 1980s, maybe
1986 or so, when I was an every other week or so contributor to a weekly
computer magazine called, surprisingly, PC Week. After a while, I was
offered a contract by PC Week. At that time, Windows was simply an
add-on to MS-DOS. I also wrote a few hardware reviews for PC Magazine,
BYTE (always my favorite) and one or two other publications.

PC Week looked like this:

What were you doing computer-wise in the mid-1980s?
