1. The arrogance and nerve of these pricks is beyond comprehension
They want us to test their product for free.

Given MS's history of cataloging and sending personal information back to them, I wouldn't even begin to trust this. MS, when it doesn't introduce trojan horses on their own, makes it easy for others to do so...

The only two features I see are a new appearance and 'virtual shopping mall'. :eyes:

Sorry to be a cynic...

3. For those of us in the biz
The streaming media biz that is, I welcome open beta testing even from a company like Microsoft. Microsoft does do a great job of maintaining compatibility with older products which is good because I'm in the middle of developing a product for version 9. Phew..

Does Linux or Mac pay any body to test their software?

2. Trying to cash in on the on-line music ordering

And like the person in post 2 said, watch out for that GUID.
