The way I figure - if you're going to get some sort of recognition or perk for doing it, GO FOR IT. The rest of us have been beta testing their released version shit for years, and all we've got to show for it are cramps in our ctrl+alt+delete fingers.

Are they ever going to do anything with it?
When was the last version of IE released?
Hilarious how they fought to take the browser market from Netscape, yet their product is so outdated, bug-ridden and neglected, they're losing the market to Avant, Mozilla, Opera and even Netscape again, since they actually see fit to update their products more than once every three years or so.
I avoid IE like the plague, and often recommend Avant Browser as an IE alternative (even though it's built on the IE framework). This is the IE that Microsoft should have done, if they really cared about product over profits.
If I use IE, I may as well be using Mosaic (remember THAT ancient relic?).

4. I've been a M$soft beta tester |

I did their UNIX connectivity package.
All I got was bragging rights and a free copy of the software.

If you don't mind nuking your hard drive and re-installing you should go for it.
