Maybe many ppl will throw stone on me for this comment, but each time I check 'offer' section, or new beta releases (but mostly I'm talking about req and offer section) I see Microsoft this & that, 99% of offer is somehow related to Microsoft, and each new topic 'floods' (maybe not the best word, forgive me, I'm still learning english) the offer-request section, which makes other threads go into waste, those too, which might contain interesting info for people, but they simply miss it, because the MS threads toss the others out... I know MS is a big company, and -maybe- it's easier to find such stuff on the net, but for me it's a bit scary and annoying... So that's why I thought, maybe there could be a separate MS section for build-demo-beta offering. If no, then ofc I will survive, just need to browse a bit more.

Ok, now you can kill me :D

Microsoft with its products dominates the market. That´s why and we can´t influence this as single users except we form anti-strategies which can prove successful. Some 90% of all PCs and Notebooks run on Windows and Window products.

...which is fine, I'm not against it, and this wasn't my real problem, but seems like it's not doable anyway... but in your point of view, ms soft archive is so big, it would definitely deserve a separate section :)

It's the point above, most people are more interested in the MS stuff it seems. Plus the fact that most of those could be shoved on a Virtual Box and tried out. Many Apple builds are not straightforward.

And not that many members here have iDevices for the iOS betas.

What? I know I am not native English, but this I can't understand.


There is an Microsoft Operating System section, isn't that enough?
And also this forum has enough sections.
