dude man, not trying to burst your bubble, for sure it's not going to be a copy of office 2003

MS told us we should start ordering office 2003 if you want to upgrade (hint hint hint)

Well that was just a general thankyou email that was sent out. The second was worded a little differently.

Anyhow, been on the office betas since Office 2000 and got the full product as a "gift" each time. Why would they change this?

Either way, I wasn't in the beta for the rewards. Anything would be a bonus, but nothing is okay by me. Had fun during the beta. :D

Not really. I received MapPoint 2004 when it came out as a "gift" from Microsoft. Also Office XP was 18 or so months ago...

I live down in California and I haven't received mine, however I don't expect one (I didn't find many bugs). I do know, however, that when the Beta 2 Technical Refresh came out it took an inordinate long time for the package to get here. Friends of mine over on the east coast had received theirs a week or so before I did. Stupid airborne express.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
