EddieR Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Now if this doesn't beat all, Microsoft is charging $1.50 to download a Beta 2 version of Office 2007, who would pay money for a beta version, they have to be kiding me, where are their beta tester's ?, I think Microsoft has reached it's peak and may just start to sink, here's the link to the article :h**p://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33363 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23128-you-have-to-be-kiding-me/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Most companies dont offer public betas. Bear in mind that a beta tester is supposed to help microsoft, not the other way around. Why shouldnt they charge for a beta? it costs them money to download. If you're a beta tester, and they want you to pay money, say F em and dont help. If you just want to use prerelease software, join the beta tester program.

domino Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 huh? i downloaded just about every Ofice 2007 beta productes available from MS last month and didn't have to pay anything. So this might just have been rescent. It might be that the bandwidth was too much for them to bear? I'm glad I jumped on it early and didn't have to resort to torrents Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23128-you-have-to-be-kiding-me/#findComment-153299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartboy919 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Are you sure that the $1.50 price isnt for them to send a DVD to you? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23128-you-have-to-be-kiding-me/#findComment-154093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 At least they're not charging the full $350 for a beta download. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23128-you-have-to-be-kiding-me/#findComment-154229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
