The new warnings also came the same day Microsoft acknowledged that a security breach opened access to a Web server used by 20,000 Windows beta testers. Microsoft advised the testers to change their passwords.

I wonder why I wasn't advised by Microsoft to change my password?

90501 2002-10-19 01:38:00 You mean you have to apply to become a Microsoft tester? I thought all you had to do was buy the retail version. ;-) Graham L (2)

Yeah, so did I... but I haven't been notified by MS about the breach the other day regarding the Win .Net beta, which I'm also signed up for.

It's cheaper to get an actual beta version - even if it works better than the retail one :)
