C:Amie Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 T-Shirt would be neat. I worked long and hard to get my bug reports in. A shirt saying "I survided MS Office" would be quite touching ;) On 2000 SP4 I was tester of the week and got a really neat 'self raising' calculator. A nice surprise as I didn't realsie they gave out gifts for betas... Seems to be expected by some people, perhaps you were on the beta for all the wrong reasons if you do. :no: As the mail said: *Gifts for Technical Beta Testers*- We appreciate all you have done to help us test our products. Gifts will be shipping to you by October. If a free copy of MSO03 should land on my door mat, or Outlook 2003, well, I doubt I'd complain ;) :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/2/#findComment-1232923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

C:Amie Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Tehe, neat Something tells me it didn't say "Office XP is a rather pointless update to Office 2000" :p :laugh: ;) Not a fan of Office XP, it was all rather gimicky. Office 2000 was the most comprehencive suite. With more individual programs in it. It's all good ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/2/#findComment-1232966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadishTM Veteran Posted October 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2003 Yeah, didn't like Office XP much after I tried it, I got a copy of Office 2000 Premium via my college, helped me a lot in my studies :) ....

quanta Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 When I beta tested for CorelDRAW, they gave me the full retail software, a T-shirt, AND a pen. They was very nice of them to do that. P.S. The Microsoft Office team got USB keychains as their Ship-It awards. :) Hey, they created the software, they deserved it!

SunnyB Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 The free gifts won't be sent out until Q1 2004. There were a lot of beta testers.

Redmondian Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 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.
