Greetings,

As a result of all your outstanding feedback, we are pleased to announce that you have been selected to be a Windows Live™ Butterfly - Messenger!

The Windows Live Butterfly program, formerly the MSN® Butterfly program, is designed to recognize beta testers who excel at testing our Windows Live programs by submitting valuable feedback, validate and vote on others feedback and assist other users in the Microsoft beta newsgroups. Butterflies help out each individual product group, choosing to focus deeply on one particular program as it moves from Beta to Release and back to Beta again. Butterfly Experts go a step above and beyond, testing multiple products, time and time again, providing feedback where ever they go.

Nothing is expected of you as a Butterfly above and beyond what you already do. However, a Butterfly is not a Butterfly for life. We do regularly assess beta testers and Butterflies alike for continued inclusion in the program. Doing this lets us keep our pool of recognized testers who excel fresh and up to date.

You may be wondering what sort of benefits will come from being a Butterfly. First and foremost is the automatic acceptance into any Windows Live beta in the coming year, big or small. Another benefit is the recognition you get within Microsoft, based on the Butterflies who came before you. We also will give you access to a private newsgroup, accessible only to Butterflies and Microsoft, where you can share ideas, thoughts and converse about any topic with your fellow Butterflies.

Once more, we would like to thank you for the invaluable role you played in the development process and the successful launch of several Microsoft Windows Live products during the past year. On behalf of the staff at Windows Live and Windows Live customers everywhere, thank you for the time and effort you spent making this version of Windows Live software the best possible product.

THANK YOU for your outstanding contributions and welcome to our outstanding Windows Live Butterfly group!!

If you have any concerns, feedback or questions regarding this email, please do not hesitate to drop us an email at [email protected].

Best regards,

Windows Live Beta Team
