PC Satisfaction Trial Testers Invited

Microsoft has invited beta testers to participate in the company's PC Satisfaction Trial, an underlying piece of its "Real People, Real Data" customer research program.

Testers will be included in an important Web services trial to gauge how confident they feel when the security of their PC, personal information, and safety of their data are not in constant jeopardy.

Windows XP PCs with Internet connections set in homes or small business are welcomed aboard. Other requirements include a CD-R or CD-RW drive, and a .NET Passport. Active participation and feedback are required for the 3-4 month long test.

Those interested in participating must complete a nomination survey by logging into BetaPlace with the guest ID: PCSATTRIAL2.Using a personal or previously assigned beta ID and password will not grant you access to the survey, Microsoft notes.
