I reckon what's really funny is people thinking that they're going to get something cheap / nasty.

Not sure about the:

beta 2 -> |gold/RTM| beta testers but

beta 1 -> |gold/RTM| will receive the full boxed pro version of Office 2003.

(Y)

hmm.....i hope ur sayin' the truth

[Redmondian]

Sure! :) Trust me!

[divinatum]

[KTamas]

[Redmondian]

:D lol, ms went all out on that box :-P

Sure! They're also getting into recycling boxes from products that didn't sell so good, all to save the trees! :D

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

Uhh. Office XP wasn't 4 years ago! :huh:

Got a full copy of that product at the end of the beta run.

[Redmondian]

If the worst comes to the worst I'm quite happy with Office XP anyhow.

The only two products (maybe three) I'd use from '2003 is Powerpoint / Outlook and Word. That's all I ever use anyway. :happy:

Oh and by the way, I was a tester for the MS Home networking and as a "gift" they sent me the full version of the wireless router kit retail $200 somethin with the little wireless proband adapter thingy. As well I got to keep the beta one which was the same thing!

[Redmondian]

Awww nice! :) See MS does :wub: you!

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

[NetGX]

Well i thought it would have arrived by now......

I guess they do have alot of ppl to send it too, knowing my luck i will get mine last

[Offspring]

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.

[lammmetak]

i live in the netherlands, still nothing here:S

[JnCoKiLLa]

don't worry it will come...
