Microsoft Office Starter 2010 Beta testing

TechiMan · 11-11-2009, 05:04 PM

Though I submitted my information but this site has no links to Microsoft

animere · 11-11-2009, 05:10 PM

Did it. Will see what happens.

It links to Microsoft if you click on Terms of Use.. Also apparently I don't qualify (I chose: XP, cable, PC/laptop so not sure what could be wrong) and it rerouted me to Microsoft website so seems legit enough for those who qualify..

What did you guys put in to qualify?

Dorkdorkdork · 11-11-2009, 05:20 PM

Vista SP1 or higher
Broadband
Desktop
Selected all office suites
Office 2007

Got stuck at the Submit button...? It wont finish the survey.

**Hellyea** · 11-11-2009, 05:34 PM

win 7 / broadband / laptop / google docs, open office / office 2007.

Looks like I qualified. I rec'd the actual email from MS so this is legit.

Though -- starter edition? wtf is that? Sounds like it'd be a downgrade from my full version of office 2007

didn't get anything when I pressed 'submit'. Just a dialogue box wanting to close the window.

What is the point in doing BETA testing ? Do we get a fre copy of Office 2010 ?

It can be a huge competetive advantage to get a year jump on everyone else on how to figure out how to use Office 2010 like it was still Office 2003. Just like everyone had to do with Office 2007

.

Filled out survey, entered email address, got to the submit button, clicked it and the whole window closed. So dont know what happened lol. I guess Ill have to wait and see if an email comes in the next few weeks.

Office 2010 is not much different from Office 2007.

I was in the Technical Preview.

Looks nicer, but not very different.
