If you want to save $$ and not renew your MCT next year, that's cool - but don't do so because of betas only. The new 'beta blog' will NOT list every beta opportunity. It will announce those that planners decide are open to the public. Usually the MCTs get advance notice of betas, whether they are &amp;quot;invite only&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;public&amp;quot;--I imagine that will continue.&lt;/p&gt;

Paul Lai</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Good! &amp;nbsp;A centralized blog for beta exam invitations. &amp;nbsp;The most important reason for keeping my MCT credential has gone, as now every beta exam is opened to public.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can save the MCT renewal $$ next year...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This blog entry is good news everyone! I really feel like the marketing has proven a keen sense for our needs as a customer. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you. It's the thing I wish to become true. =) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW, why not to create a mail list with invitations to MVP? I think many of us would appreciate this. =)&lt;/p&gt;
