As an experienced group of beta testers for Windows Vista you've proven you can find plenty of bugs when given the opportunity to. With thanks to the Microsoft hardware group, we're pleased to make available to you (exclusively) Beta versions of Vista ready Microsoft Intellitype and Intellipoint software for Microsoft keyboards and mice. We're also very pleased to provide you with DigitalPersona 2.0 beta software for your Microsoft fingerprint devices. These beta versions are available in English language versions only. We are also working with the hardware group to provide a beta version of Vista drivers and software for the new Microsoft Lifecam series.

Keep an eye on the newsgroup mentioned below for an announcement when the LifeCam software becomes available for testing. If you have a Microsoft mouse, keyboard, or fingerprint device, we ask that you install these packages at your earliest convenience and provide us with your feedback. Keep in mind the goal is parity with XP for these devices so please refrain from filing DCR's, suggestions or wishes at this time. Please thoroughly read the following information prior to downloading, testing, and submitting feedback.
