KTamas 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. (Y) hmm.....i hope ur sayin' the truth Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/3/#findComment-1234299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawai Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 dude man, not trying to burst your bubble, for sure it's not going to be a copy of office 2003 MS told us we should start ordering office 2003 if you want to upgrade (hint hint hint) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/3/#findComment-1234545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second was worded a little differently. Anyhow, been on the office betas since Office 2000 and got the full product as a "gift" each time. Why would they change this? Either way, I wasn't in the beta for the rewards. Anything would be a bonus, but nothing is okay by me. Had fun during the beta. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/3/#findComment-1234611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmondian Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 If the worst comes to the worst I'm quite happy with Office XP anyhow. The only two products (maybe three) I'd use from '2003 is Powerpoint / Outlook and Word. That's all I ever use anyway. :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105855-office-2003-beta-gift/page/3/#findComment-1234651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offspring Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I live down in California and I haven't received mine, however I don't expect one (I didn't find many bugs). I do know, however, that when the Beta 2 Technical Refresh came out it took an inordinate long time for the package to get here. Friends of mine over on the east coast had received theirs a week or so before I did. Stupid airborne express.
