Any company? even if its a modem or motherboard or any hardware related item? Then I would get it?

Pretty much. I was ordering for another business and got Microsoft Office 2003 Pro (OEM) and 2 LCD screens (that was from Newegg). Any Hardware, no matter how small willl work. :)

got mine today ..a black radio ... too bad I am not one of those lucky 60

Hey, noticed your from Minnesota... By which carrier did you receive the gift? (i.e. postal mail, UPS, Airborne, etc...) I just wondered since I am in Minneapolis and haven't seen my show up yet or if it has maybe it grew legs and walked off... I doubt I was one of the lucky 60 but wonder if that number is the total from both IEP and OEP testing groups...

Thanks

When you get it. Send it back to Microsoft and tell them that you want the Full Retail Boxed version of Office 2003 Pro for your hard labor and that this is nothing but an insult. Maybe if enough people do that, including myself, they will get the hint real fast.

Funny how Apple users dance around with their cool looking and superior iPods and now Office 2003 beta testers will be able to dance around with their $2.00 clip AM/FM radios. Provided they work!. Sounds like when people were given a penny for a months work, back in Biblical times. :laugh:

lol, I don't really mind not getting the full version. I mean, I didn't really expect them to give it to me. Would have been nice... but *shrugs*. I'll be happy with my mini radio whenever I get it... hehe. I'm not that hard to please. :p

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
