November 2003

Dear Microsoft Office 2003 Pre-Release Program Member,

We want to take this opportunity to thank you again for your help in testing and providing feedback to our Office product teams as part of the Individual Evalutation or Organizational Evaluation Program during the pre-release segment of our product cycle.

We value your contribution to the products, the program, and your peers in the program, who you worked with to volunteer your time as part of the pre-relase effort. Some of you were very committed to helping others in the newsgroups, some were dedicated to logging bugs for our product team, while others were very helpful in providing feedback trough our error reporting tool.

You, in particular, stand out among the top 60 participants in terms of providing overall feedback and assistance to others in the program. For all your efforts we are sincerely gratefull!

Please accept these small gifts and a complimentary copy of Microsoft Office Professional as a token of our appreciation and recognition of a job well done. You helped to make Microsoft Office 2003 the product that it is today, and you can be very proud of that accomplishment.

It has been a pleasure working with you during the Microsoft Office 2003 pre-release program, and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Thank you,

The Microsoft Office Team

What a bunch of lame people. Have you realize that this maybe just a test to see how people react on getting cheap ?gifts? instead of a full version of the software you tested? Geeeee! What if all this was a charade set by Microsoft just to see how loyal their beta testers are? If that?s what they where doing let me tell you something: congratulations! you all fail to pass the test and as a reward nobody is gonna get the FPP of Office 2003.

I?d remember back on the last days of tests of Office XP some people where asking again and again on the newsgroups if they where to receive the final version, in the end MS didn?t include many of those people in the ?gratitude? list.

I just can?t say how happy am I MS did this to all of you, now they know why many of you want to be part of the ?tea:no:.

:no:

you're right

i would like to say Thank YOU Microsoft for this wonderful opportunity to test one of your products.

it made me happy.. infact, i finished my school work early :wf it :D :whistle:

Well, I hope this put an end to the complains of many people saying that Microsoft was cheap by sending out radios to ?all? the testers. As you can see you?ll get Office 2003 only if you where among the best testers, that?s it, plain and simple as that? I can?t tell how much I love when they?re sooooooooooooooooooo bitchie and mean. Go MS goooo!!& evil:

[C:Amie]
