Er, what radio?! This is a peer-to-peer newsgroup, not Microsoft tech
support (though I don't see what a radio has to do with either MS - or
Office - anyway).

Did you remove the covering from the battery? If yes, and it still does not
work, you can contact the beta admin at the address you were provided during
the beta.

betaplace.microsoft.com is still open - you can even check on your Office
2003 bugs that you submitted.

A radio??? That's it? If the Windows Beta Team can afford to give out
Retail Windows XP Pro Full Edition with 5 cd-keys then I think the Office
team could afford one copy of Office 2003 Pro. I guess I'll stick to
windows beta tests in the future.

Let me ask... did you join the beta for the potential of free software or
did you join to try to help make Office a great product? Depending on the
answer, I think folks got what they deserved.

I joined to test and as soon as the beta was done I bought student teacher
edition (aka standard edition) with my two year old expired college ID (good
catch CompUSA) because I thought it was a great product. I just think that
everyone should get a free copy for testing. O well. neowin has a great
thread going with 200+ posts regarding this very topic.
P.S. before everyone starts bitching my wife is in grad school still so I
own my copy of student edition legitimately.

My point is that if folks sign up for the beta for the explicit expectation
of a free copy of the software they are testing as the ultimate goal of beta
testing, then MIcrosoft is doing the world a favor by disappointing the
Office 2003 beta testers who may have signed up for only and precisely this
reason. I hope they wean the other beta test groups using this same
criteria.
The purpose of the beta is to find and report bugs, work with Microsoft
Product Engineers to fix them, and then test the next release to see if your
bugs have been fixed. It is not to post to the beta news groups, ask about
free t-shirts, and then bitch about not receiving a full released product
for having tested it.
Each product group has its own budget which it allocates independent of
other product group allocations. If the Windows group can afford to give
folks 5 licenses for each copy of Windows XP, it comes from THEIR operating
budget over which Microsoft generally has no say as long as they do not
overspend.
How the OFFICE group chooses to spend their budget is entirely up to them.
What you get from the Server group or the Office group or the Windows client
group have nothing to do with each other except for their corporate
umbrella, Microsoft Corporation.
I have had enough of beta testers complaining about *gifts* - look up the
meaning of a gift in any dictionary and then post back with where in the
beta email you received it promised you anything. least of all a gift.
