anyway' email to something that the beta applicants would have wanted to
receive (even if they were rejected). Something that would give us a better
grasp of why we weren't selected.

Thank you for submitting your application to the Macromedia Flex (previously
code-named Royale) beta program. The initial selection for the beta is now
complete, and unfortunately, I was not able to include everyone who applied.
For the initial round of beta testers, we had over X,000 applicants and we
were only able to accept YY. In particular, we were looking for Java?
Developers with strong XML experience whose email address directly points to
Fortune 200 employers. Our low number of openings was set in order to
maximize the individual time our small (<10?) QA team for Flex is able to
spend with each tester. We targeted XML developers from large, profitable
employers in order to get immediate feedback from our core audience who can
afford the Enterprise class server application we are building.
All is not lost however, you may still have an opportunity to participate in
the beta, as we'll be expanding the scope of the program over the next
several weeks. We are expecting to expand the beta through 3? additional
phases of approximately CC, DDD, and EEEE number of testers.
Since I already have your application, there's no need to reapply. In fact,
please do NOT reapply since this will just add to our workload and reduce
the time we can devote from building a fantastic product.
In the meantime, here are some other ways you can keep up with the latest
Macromedia Flex developments:

I appreciate your interest in Flex-and look forward to getting Flex into the
hands of Macromedia enthusiasts just as soon as we can. I'll send you an
update shortly.
