Marky P Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Does Microsoft send betas to other emails besides MSN & Hotmail? 586793776[/snapback] Yes, me at gmail.... First big beta that I will actually be doing, was offered Server '03 R2 though and said no. Can't wait to test this mama.....

corrosive23 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Why does anyone care. Honestly. OpenOffice 2.0 was released. It's amazing, no point in wasting time with Microsoft when you have such a great free option like that.http://www.openoffice.org Let's use our heads :) 586793737[/snapback] Not everyone likes openoffice. It works like crap for me. And stop trolling the thread.

If you got one, great.. share your joy. If you didnt, or if you feel that a diff. product is better, we're sorry.. but dont waste a post space! BTW: I use linux a lot and use OpenOffice.. so don't think i'm bashing it.. it's a great product and I'm sure no one here really cares about it in this thread :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/396296-office-beta-12-invites/page/3/#findComment-586793864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're closed only to those whom Microsoft chooses! sorry :) EDIT: fit4130rider [at] hotmail.com 586793876[/snapback] Same as above^^ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/396296-office-beta-12-invites/page/3/#findComment-586793871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamNeeds Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 branislav, he has no invites to "give out". If you want to sign upto the beta you have to sign up at Microsoft - forgive me but i dont have the link to the page where you can sign up to it.

Nexus- Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 typical MS they give beta invites to some kid that only joined up to get the betas!and they leave out people like OEM system builders and Microsoft partners. who have tested things more complex than a stupid Instant message client. 586793744[/snapback] ROFL no your incorrect if you were a real oem or partner you need to have gold status and you would have already been getting vista builds 2 times a month or more and maybe some office 12 builds. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/396296-office-beta-12-invites/page/3/#findComment-586793903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shihchiun Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Got one too, although I don't know why they sent it to my ISP email account instead of my Gmail account. :blink: I don't remember signing up with that address...

Mr. Dee Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 ROFL no your incorrect if you were a real oem or partner you need to have gold status and you would have already been getting vista builds 2 times a month or more and maybe some office 12 builds. ;) 586793903[/snapback] Very true, and they had a free competence test a few months back which would have given him early access to the BETA.

MS jsut seem to pick people that know f all about computers and how to beta test software properly over some one thats got MS credentials.
