I checked with (Windows beta chief) Paul Donnelly, he said that sure, their names would be written down for the beta when it finally did start up. It wasn’t any sort of bounty or reward, it was just a path to find out what exactly was going on with the leak.” from: http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1600 R O F L …

Alpha/Beta material will leak, it's inevitable, and it only helps excite the community who are interested in learning everything they can about Microsoft's upcoming products. Apple's attempts at trying to hunt down leakers/sources of upcoming products didn't win many fans for Apple and the same applies to Microsoft.

The last few Windows Beta's have had people like this who act as Newsgroup police, beating down people who ask questions they feel are below them, adding absolutely no value and creating noise. They post with an arrogance that you would expect they are employees of Microsoft, not in fact people who just have WAY too much time on their hands. I wonder what their bug count is like, or all their energy is directed to being unofficial police officers. Someone with some common sense in MS should gag these people for the good of all the other normal beta testers. This is endemic of what is wrong with the current Microsoft Beta programs.

As a journalist this would be retarded. I suppose as an enthusiast it would be neat, but appreciating technology doesn't pay the bills.
