Beta Testers of Microsoft Products ONLY
Hello All,
How about a 'Beta Testers' Forum aside from anything else? But please limit it too Microsoft.
I am not only a beta tester for Vista, but also for the Office Professional 2007(beta group).
Also included in this development are titles such as (ONE NOTE), (Production Manager),(Office Professional), (I.E. 7.0 beta), ect.. Will you please give a guy some love? THANKS!!

Good Idea Pistoff. I am in the same category as yourself. I belong (as you probably) to several other forums and I find they tend to drift off the topic with inane personal discussions. A separate forum, with close administrative monitoring - a good idea!

Hmm, I don't know -- I think Vista discussion belongs in the Vista forum and Office discussion belongs in the Office forum. Why create more? And, when they're out of beta in a few months, we'll likely want to merge them anyway.

I have to agree. Although I got a hot reception disagreeing with the previous new forum suggestion, I really think that creating new forums for every topic will really make the board much more confusing. I'm currently involved with another board where we're trying to reduce the number of forums, for this very reason. We have a Vista forum, and obviously only beta versions are going to be discussed there for some time.

Another good reason is the owner here doesn't agree!

I think that raps it up. Lets close this topic with a big NO

OK, but we'll just use a little "no".

We always listen, it's just getting us to act that's difficult.

There is no 'Office Forum'.
But I do understand what you actually meant!
Rock on!

You could try and make everyone happy and use a big N and a small o.
