Very far from impressed on the logistics.
So I have apparently been invited to the PC flight through the Microsoft store. Not steam, not Xbox.

INCOMING CORRESPONDENCE
We’re excited to invite you to participate in the Halo Infinite technical preview this weekend! During this flight our goals will be to test our services and systems at scale, gather data on a breadth of real-world hardware configurations, and obtain feedback on the Bot Slayer experience as well as menu and Battle Pass navigation.On Monday, August 2, we will be sending out a survey to some participants to collect feedback on your experience. Please keep an eye out for it, as it’s valuable to get your thoughts and feedback while everything is still fresh in your mind. Additionally, official feedback threads can be in the Halo Waypoint forums.During this flight, we’ll also be leveraging the Halo Insider Support site to provide all the information and additional resources you may need for this flight.

Install instructions goes to “Oops the page you were looking for doesn’t exist” and is apparently a halo 2 link… The page you were looking for doesn’t exist – Halo Insider Support (halowaypoint.com)
Fine thinks me… It must be like the xbox flight and I’ll connect via the Insider Hub app on windows… Nope.
OK, everyone is talking about steam keys, my steam account is linked, must be that instead and there will be a key in my profile… Nope.
OK, maybe I’m actually enabled on xbox, let’s fire up the series S, Yup it’s an option in the insider hub, download, launch… Not authorized…
Recheck “my flights” in my profile… July tech preview type=xbox status=Active. Email say Microsoft store PC, profile says xbox
I’m not even getting to game and gameplay but the flighting administration is a hard fail so far.
