Office 2003 Beta "Thank You Gifts"

T

Timothy A. Roy

I'm sure I'll get flamed but I'll ask again anyway. Anyone get their
gifts?? I got two copies of Office XP Pro over the last month. I think its
for some IT surveys I did for Microsoft. Just want to make sure that wasn't
the gift.

The gifts are being delivered in the US right now. I know one person who
was in the top 60 and got very nice gifts. The rest will get the radio.

For the sake of curiosity care to share what the "very nice gifts" were?

Hope you don't mind me asking, but could you give me any
info about becoming an Office Beta tester?
Thanks,

In my opinion, the so called "radio" was more of an insult than a "gift".
It would have been better to get nothing, or a simple letter of thanks.

It's like leaving a waitress a few pennies as a tip. She'll be more pissed
than if you just stiffed her and left nothing.

Oh, and I could care less about the flames I'll receive about my opinions,
as I know I am not alone in this.

I for one will no longer be participating in any more beta programs for MS..

If all you are concerned about is the quality of the gift that Microsoft
"chooses" to give, then probably the Beta program is better off for your
leaving it.

To repeat what has been said many times, flame away. This is my opinion of
all the whining being done about who got what and who did not receive this
or that. Where in the beta sign-up was there any mention of receiving
anything for testing the product except the chance to find bugs and report
them? Is the whole goal of beta testing now to see who can get the most
trophies???

Geez!

The only thing I'm interested in getting is the opportunity to try out new
products before everyone else and the opportunity to help improve those
products before they are released to the general populace.

If it is an MS one, has it crashed yet?

No problem. Just close all the windows, and it will be fine again.
