Microsoft beta test for Windows Server 2003 R2

[BigToque]

I signed up to be part of MS beta testing and got an email to join the beta for Server 2003 R2.

They want me to take a survey and fill out a questionaire about which parts I'd like to test. I don't really know anything about the apsects of the tes they have outlined (I've never used Windows Server).

Should I try just answer some of the questions anyway? I'd love to learn about the things they are testing and also be more familiar with the server aspects of Windows.

If you dont know anything about it, you should not test it... wait for something you are actually able to help with.

They are not going to send you a tutorial on how to test that aspect, they are expecting that if you agree to test Windows Server 2003 R2 that you know/use Win2K3 Server and are able to stress test, make sure everything works, works correctly, etc.

I agree with AdamShow. I also recieved the email to beta test it - I'm quite familiar with Windows Server and its services, but I'm not going to beta test it simply because i dont have a non-production environment to test in, and I really dont have the time either.
