Looks like I just paid $5 to participate in someone's beta program. Maybe I should have read closer, I didn't see it anywhere though. Be careful if you get an invite. Edit: oh, yeah. And after that I couldn't even get the account setup to work. Error message. Which would be fine if it was a free beta, but now I'm paying for this aggravation? Only M$.
Call them. Same thing happened to me and they worked it out over the phone. It does clearly state that there is a $5 sign up fee....
I believe you that it clearly states it, I kinds flew through it without paying enough attention- bad on me. Still, paying to be a beta tester doesn't sit well with me.
