Any chance of there bieng a beta test for DoW? That would be the best thing ever :P

No more chance than their would be for any other game, also maybe if you took the time to do a proper post you would get a decent reply, No?

from the DoW faq on the forum at relicnews (compiled by a friend of mine from stuff the devs have said and whatnot):

Q. What about a beta and/or demo?

A. Based on Relic's track record I can safely say I have no idea in terms of a beta. Homeworld had two closed beta tests. Impossible Creatures and Homeworld 2 only had internal beta testers. The good news though is that all three games under Relic's belt have had demos released before a game ships, so you have a chance to try before you buy. Typically these demos have come with a brief tutorial, 1 - 2 single player missions, skirmish mode, and multiplayer support with around 2 - 3 maps. If a demo is within the budget Relic will gladly have one ready to go. At this point we just do not know if a beta and/or demo is in the grand scheme of things.
