    Nice find, +rep! I got as far as the "Beta Test Participation and Licence Agreement". As much as I was interested in participating in the program and occasionally providing Dell my constructive feedback about their netbooks and laptops, I couldn't agree to this part:

    "Any specific instructions" is pretty open-ended, and I have only so much time and interest in their products. "Suggestions", I could do, or perhaps "specific instructions not requiring more than 15 minutes of time in all, per product." I didn't see any evidence that the beta tester would have too much choice about the specific products they'd be testing...did anyone else (other than the general category selection poll?) I wouldn't want to have to spend much time testing some crappy value-priced laptop.

    After registering and filling out all the forms I get a "you are currently not enrolled in any projects" message after login.

    I guess that gets updated before they choose you/send you stuff.

    I registered no problem with UK details. Don't think it makes a difference.

    This is to get entry into the Dell Beta Testing Participation membership...so you can potentially get invited to sign up to be a *beta* tester for future new Dell impending releases, etc :D :D

    For something like an invite to sign up to test out something like this:
