Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Microsoft does

Right after irritating additional than a number of of its technical beta testers by telling them they wouldn;t get a free copy with the ultimate version of Windows 7 for their testing difficulty, Microsoft has completed a 180-degree turn.Microsoft will probably be providing its technical beta testers with a absolutely free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, organization officials acknowledged on July 30 in a posting on the Windows staff blog.From that posting:“To show our appreciation, members of the invitation-only Windows seven Technical Beta Program will probably be eligible for a no cost,Windows 7 Enterprise, ultimate duplicate of Windows seven Greatest. For extra information on how to take advantage of this,Microsoft Office Professional 2010, refer to Paul (Donnelly)’s post in the .Beta_Program newsgroup for details.”The absolutely free copies of Windows seven Greatest will go to technical beta testers only — not every individual who participated in the public Windows 7 Beta and Release Candidate testing programs.Last week, around the heels of informing testers that it wouldn;t give them a totally free final duplicate,Microsoft Office Standard 2010, Microsoft had told testers it was going to close the beta forums quickly,Office 2007 Standard, over the course of a couple of days. Some testers speculated Microsoft was closing the forums because so many testers were expressing anger over not getting a absolutely free final duplicate with the product.Nice to see Microsoft do the best thing here….Update: Here;s the fine print of the offer (shared with me by a tester who asked to remain anonymous):Details:All current members of our English technical and international mini-beta programs are eligible.· We are offering you a full (non-upgrade) copy of Windows seven Ultimate Edition for your own personal use,Windows 7 Home Premium, not to get resold.· You is going to be able to get access to your copy one of two ways:A) To get up and running quickly you will likely be able to download your copy and get your product key via Microsoft Connect. English downloads will likely be available August 6th and other languages will follow as they become available.B) Members of our English beta program have an alternative. We have reserved a limited amount of boxed retail copies that you can choose to receive instead. These are ‘first come, first served;. If you opt to have us ship you the boxed copy you should be aware that it will take very much longer until you is going to be up and running around the ultimate version. We will need time to manufacture and ship the copies to you. This means that you may not receive them until they are available on shelves October 22nd or later. Also, for people outside the United States you may be required to pay duties or other local taxes upon receipt.Instructions and forms for choosing one with the above options will likely be available on Microsoft Connect on Monday August 3rd.
