jwjw1 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I like the fact they now say in beta emails about not getting the final product ;) 586793593[/snapback] thats usually because the 'final' is in the hands of others...before any beta testers...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dee Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I like the fact they now say in beta emails about not getting the final product ;) 586793593[/snapback] After what happened with Office 11 and that thread on Neowin from so many who didn't get a copy, I am not surprised. I was a lucky top 60, still have my journal, radio/compass and complimentary copy still not used. :) Office 2003 beta gift :D https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105855 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
