At least MS treats you more nicely (than the rest of us) if you’re an “official beta tester.” They do expect you to work for them by finding out where things are broken, but you’d probably do that anyway.
For a tech geek, it could be worth doing at least for one go-around.
The parties to which you can get invitations aren’t half bad (or at least weren’t some years ago).

Have you seen (or worse attempted to communicate with) the latest Geek versions? (Geek 46.7)
I would party with them only after 15 minutes of artillery prep, TOT. In ye olden geek days, all that was needed was soap and water and maybe a toothbrush. Now they need Pine-Sol, Lysol, and a steam pressure washer (for the tattoos).
