Hey Guys,

What are we testing here?  I'm trying to get an idea whether or not I'd want to participate, and which system I should provide specs for..  My main VMC system (listed in my signature below) or my previous DIY VMC system.

Bah!  I started it at work, but didn't know my "exact" processor name, so I had to quit.  Now it says I already took it.  I assumed as long as I didn't submit, I'd be okay.  Don't make the same mistake as me, take the survey when you have access to your media center computer.  Now I'm sad :(

I assume there's no way to get around this...

OH NO!  I started it too, at work... and then stopped...  because I wasn't sure which of my desktops I wanted to spec out...  my cablecard quad core, or my previous DIY VMC box...

Well that is a conundrum isn't it then mate,...?

Try this one on for size, I wish to beta test on a system I dont yet have. I want to build a system based on an Intel Core i7 920 with ASUS P6T Deluxe OC Palm Edition motherboard. I'll buy the parts as soon as they ship but I can't buy them before then now can I ;)

 

I guess I'll just use my Core 2 Quad based system then,...

I haven't been selected for any previous betas. I think it's my turn, Microsoft.

It'd be nice if the dropdown of 'what type of PC will you be testing on' contained a bit more than "Desktop" or "Laptop".

Suggestion: I would have thought something like a "Dedicated HTPC" option would be helpful, if you really want to get a feel for people's setups, and how they might use Media Center, MS.

It's a shame that I had to describe a sleek, quiet, box, sat in the living room beneath the TV, and above an equally slick external surround sound decoder (all laid out in true "hi-fi separates" fashion) as a 'Desktop'...
