How Can "I" Get Involved?

[Deception]

With me being 15 and having quite a bit of computer knowledge I am interested in going to these conventions/seminars that were held for Windows 7. I also know many people who got free software for attending. I am just extremely curious on how I can get involved and have the upper-hand advantage on being a participant.

If anyone has any suggestions or things to say please let me know! Anything helps.

Well my main question is... do I have to be apart of a corporation or company? Or are these things that are just held that anyone can go to?

I started doing this many years ago. I grabbed every opportunity to "belong".
Exceptionally, by the luck of the draw, I was accepted onto the Vista BEta testing program and, consequently, the Windows 7 program.
I never regreted it. Frankly it comes to a point where you find a need to filter your mail and stop some of the automated responses!

Iv'e just noticed the revival of this VERY old post. But Just to avoid some confusion. As it happens, I do have a Technet account, but in my historic post, I was only referring to the Technet forums - something a little apart. Technet forums are open for anyone to browse, but you need a live ID to contribute. Never will there be a release of new software there.

I have attended Microsoft "Kickoff" events for new OS's since 2001 when MS released XP... They only visit major cities, and usually occur in the weeks just before/after public release. Sometimes these are called roadshows. MS gives away all kinds of freebies to attendees, I saw people win entire systems, windows phones, and an Xbox at the Win7 event in San Diego. But unfortunately... yes you do need to be "in the industry". I am a CIS instructor and consultant, so I qualify that way.

Since you are only 15, and not (YET) working in the industry... your best bet is too keep informed by reading here at 8forums and other MS Win8 blogs, forums, etc.... and cross your fingers that MS has the "Launch Party" promo again for Win8!

LOL Well now i'm 17 -- but sweet! Thanks for the information about the events ha, I was extremely curious all this time..!
