    I got this e-mail today. It gave me a beta id. I signed up for Microsoft beta testing about 5 months ago, but never got anything. Above where it would show the beta id at the top of the e-mail, it said someone's name. It wasn't my name, not even close! What do I do? I logged in under my .net passport, and found no place to use the ID. Only Guest ID. I am confused! wacko.gif
