I have seen a beta version, and, like some others on the list, am a beta
tester, and have been for a few years.
I don't think Nisus want a lot of beta testers, but I can assure you that
there are enough of us.
Naturally, we are "sworn to secrecy" - it is a question of respecting a
company's product secrets until they are releseased. While many
companies do public beta testing, I can assure you that it is not the
norm. I work with software companies doing translations and writing
documentation, and I have not ever seen a company that really authorizes
beta testers to talk about the products (except for the rare public beta
programs).
