Integrators to Get to Influence 7MC
Its pretty common knowledge that Microsoft works closely with custom installers when rolling out Media Center features. Entertainment 2.0 reports that CE Pros will have the chance to enter a private beta to give feedback direct to Microsoft.
"This is an entirely different program than the public Windows 7 beta,"
says a Microsoft spokesperson. "Inclusion in this private beta will
allow Microsoft to provide an additional level of scrutiny to the
particular issues that you are seeing that are related to the custom
installation channel."
