Reward for testing Office 2007

[will]

To my surprise I received an Email from Msft that thanked me for testing
Office 2007
Along with a link to download a 60 day trial of the RTM version

This would at the very least be a nice way for MSFT to say thank you to
the CPP members for using the Vista beta's, an offer to download a 60 day
trial of Vista RTM would go a long way to say thank you to those CPP
members who did submit bugs and did a lot of work towards making Vista a
good OS,

And it would also be a great promotional move which seemed to be the whole
purpose of the CPP

It has been standard practice for MSFT to offer public 60 day trials to
Office for several versions back--I have no idea how far. They gave out
trials to XP during the year after XP launched, and I'm sure that they will
be available for Vista as well but I don't know whether they'll put it on
line. Could be.

It would be nice to be able to see if RTM solved the problems I have with
RC1. Vista is way too slow for me to use during the work day the way I use
the computer. X64 flies, but Vista slugs, sometimes taking several minutes
to respond and other times requiring me to up the priority of a process to
get it 'unstuck'. Many other things, like having to use a third party
program to delete temporary files and constant popups of shared files for
WMP and Mail. Only a few of my constant problems have reports about being
fixed in RTM. Don't really want to spend @ $400 + $1,000 for other programs
on a system I can't use most of the day.
