I just accepted an invitation to participate in a new BETA program. As the name would generally imply, it’s a sort of maintenance and error checking program that continuously runs in the background of Windows.
Here’s Microsoft’s own words about the program:
Windows Advisor is an easy-to-use self-help tool that notifies users about problems on their […]
Has anyone else been hearing information about a new product entering beta (or is it alpha) testing?
A recent article by Mary Jo Foley shared a few different options of what it could be:

I’ve been seeing the […]

One of the other features I like about the new OneCare Beta 2 is this network identification and protection feature.
When your computer sees/connects to a new network it prompts you to categorize what type of network and what accessibility it has to your own computer.
I’ll tell you it works too! I accidentally clicked the […]
A recent article on ZDNet listed some of the features and additions that have been thrown on the table to be included in a future release of the Windows operating system.
These aren’t necessarily confirmed, just things that have been asked for by their beta testing user base.
