Alpha builds of Windows 8 are already circulating at MS but they are far worse than Windows 7 at the moment, older forks basically.
We should see some alphas and invites in about six months. If you do want to be an official tester make sure to registry at Microsoft Connect if you haven't already.
Hello mikinho.
I'm already registered at Connect, is there a specific page to sign up for the betas, maybe a link please and thank you!

It is hit or miss unfortanetely. Some of the programs\betas\alpha will put a registration link in their connect profile (https://connect.microsoft.com/directory/) while others will send you e-mails with a registration link.
For example I'm part of about 93 "connections". I noticed the more I participated the more private invites I received. This is nothing official of couse, I haven't had contract work for Microsoft for a few years, but my personal observation.
