Wave 3 invites for Windows Live products have been sent out
Posted by absorbation on Sat 30 Aug 2008 (17:33 GMT)

As discussed earlier this week, invitations have been sent out to apply to beta test Wave 3 in Windows Live products. Below is part of the email Microsoft sent users:

The Windows Live Team invites you to be an extension of our development process by giving us feedback on our software. You'll be helping us ensure that we deliver a great experience to all Windows Live users.

As a Windows Live beta tester you'll have an opportunity to try out multiple Windows Live products as part of a single beta program! As always, this beta program contains all of the great components you've come to expect from a Windows Live beta, including the ability to file bugs and talk to the product teams in private newsgroups.

Unlike past betas, this is a small-scale beta with a very limited number of open seats. The nomination survey will close as soon as we reach our target number. If you want to participate in this beta, please act quickly. (Early entry doesn't guarantee final approval)


So those of who you received the email, looks like you have a chance of beta testing the new Windows Live Messenger/ other Windows Live products. One thing we noticed during the survey however, was a question saying "Do you have friends that use Messenger and would like to participate in a beta with you so that you can test new features together?". Could this hint at the ability to invite further friends to the product? We doubt it, as Microsoft did claim this was a small scale beta, but one can always speculate.
