Though a few testers have already got access to MSN beta program, Microosft has now officially sent the welcome mail to the selected beta testers. Excerpt of that mail is given below:

Dear ***,

Welcome to the MSN Beta Program! We're delighted to have you onboard. You've been selected to test the new MSN Plus subscription software.

We are very excited about this program, and to kick it off, we will give t-shirts to the first 100 people who sign in to BetaPlace (the technical beta Web community at Microsoft) and install the software!

The first thing for you to do is take the survey on BetaPlace and then install the software. You can install the software directly from BetaPlace or you can wait until you receive the beta CD kit and install it from the CD. You will be mailed the beta CD kit within the next seven to ten business days. During the program we will be asking you to test an upcoming version of MSN Plus subscription software that is designed to enhance your online experiences and is not Internet Access or a replacement for it. In order to test the software you will need to have an existing Internet access connection (e.g. broadband or dial-up).

If you are a new MSN member, the beta installation process will require a credit card number. No charges will be made to the card until the completion of the beta program. Thank you for participating in the MSN Beta Program. We're looking forward to your insightful feedback and building a better MSN.

Warm regards,

MSN Beta Program Team
