Meet all the requirements except the last one.
Oh well I'm sure others will find it useful.

I signed up with my iMac intel 2ghz core duo, I wonder if they'll bite. I have MCE XP working fine with my Xbox 360 on my iMac and it passes Vista ultimate hardware advisor.

I keep trying to sign up, but I just get a "Server Error in '/Collector' Application." error when I click on the link above. Anyone else have this problem?

I'd like to be a betatester, but unfortunatelly I don't reside in US.
If it could be possible, I'm interested in the testing, please contact me!

great. Canadian, MCP who works for a Gold certified partner who designs and builds MCE platforms can't get on because he lives too far north. Good one!

Those specs aren't all that "beefy". I have a system I built 4 years ago and except for the video card, it exceeds the premium requirements. I can pick up a $55 video card that exceeds the requirements.

can answer all yes without the last one. so sad only americans get the chance of working with MS. there are some things that definitely need to be done better with the extender in the 360.

first off it would be nice to have the correct aspect ratio with a 42" plasma widescreen and VGA-cable. the picture is always stretched and pictures and videos just don't look right. so sad...

One guy above mentioned that he had the Vista beta 5308 installed and another mentioned that he/she did as well but wanted the 360 media center functionality.

According to paul thurotts windows supersite http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_5381_gallery_01.asp the newest beta release 5381 has xbox 360 media center support as you can see in the screenshots. I think he also says that "Beta 2" the public beta will be released on may 23 or 27th and will be based on build 5381. The question is, how public will "Beta 2" be? Will you have to sign up and be accepted similar to this form above that Larry Hyrb posted, or will it be as easy to download as Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 was?

Anyways thats all I know. I cant wait to see how vista works with the 360.
