well i just bought the student & teacher edition at my work place for $129 and it has a sticker on it that it allows to be installed on 3 computers. Also there is a difference between those half million beta testers. about 12000 of em were "managed" testers the other number were testers that received betas at microsoft events and/or the cpp program. but some people here or just in general are not willing to accept that.

the MANAGED testers will be receiving a gift, most likely the full version, as usual. i was a managed tester but i got impatient and bought the latest version. my laptop came with works and i really do not like open office.

Hehe...[off-topic-for-a-sec]...

you say in you're sig

BIGGEST pet peeve... People typing gay l33t crap as normal language. Is it SOOO hard to type english (unless your not natively english of course)

but you yourself do not type you're "native english" corectly ;) unless you do actually mean "unless my not natviley english" which i doubt ;)

hehe...just spotted that and thought i would be a jerk! NOW SCAN MINE FOR MISTAKES!! :) haha...

Ok - yeah nice MS giving free stuff...cool :) hope you guys/girls get some nice stuff...a real CD key is that? well send me it!!! :)

i was told i was going to get the university award from my school

i pay 22K a year, for my private university.

The university award is 7000 dollars. This would have helped a lot.

They took it away 2.5months after school started, if i dropped my classes i would get an F since it was after the drop date.

was this jacked to promise someone something and then take it away with the excuse

"It is a gift, not a promise, we never had to give it to you."

this screwed me pretty badly for the semmester.

Now M$ says you will get this by this date. Im not counting on anything, b/c aparently the rule of thumb is...it is a gift, we can indian give and we dont have to follow through with our statements b/c there is no obligations with gifts...

True that I am not asking for anything for return since I beta test a number of other tests as well.

I am kind glad that the gifts haven't been sent out yet because betaplace messed up my contact information out of blue. I immediately contacted some MVP, and it was fixed like within 3 hours. Stil.. I don't know since when the contact information was modified...

same here I didn't realize until that last e-mail that my address was wrong, half was my home address but the other half was my dorm address. I really don't care if MS sends us gifts or not, it was fun testing Office 2003. Once the beta expires (few more days) I'll just go back to Office XP.

while i also didn't get into the beta for gifts and have the attitude of they'll come when they come, i still wouldn't mind at least a t-shirt saying office 2003 or i tested it. would i look like a geek? yes, would i give a flying fudge what others think? no

The gift sucks. Here is a picture of it. It is a plastic caribeaner that doubles as an FM radio (it comes with ear buds) and a compass. It has a little volume knob and a button that sequentially scans when you click it. The reception isnt very good at all. There is also a small red light on it that doesnt give off enough light to be useful for anything.

    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
