Microsoft Prepares Beta

Microsoft has launched a new Web site, aimed at centralizing all of its beta testing services. The site, located at BetaPlace.com, will offer Microsoft testers a customizable homepage containing the latest news from whichever programs they are currently participating in. In development for a year, Microsoft is just beginning to integrate its betas into the new site, starting with its Baseball 2000 test (comprised of Core Group memers and new invitees). BetaPlace.com will replace many current tools used by testers, including MS Report, a bug reporting application. Full story to follow.
