First, I think the smartest thing that Microsoft has done, is the public betas of Windows 7 and Office 2010. I downloaded and tried both, fell in love with both products.
I’ve gotten a free copy of Windows 7, and ended up buying 3 other copies for other machines.
I’ve done the same thing with Office 2010. Downloaded the beta, and then immediately went out and bought two copies of Office 2010. I will tell you I am now completely hooked on Outlook 2010 and can’t wait until they integrate it with Facebook.
And the best news! I got a free copy in my inbox, so I can even load Office 2010 on my test machine. I’ll take it off when school starts and load it on my machine at school.
As always Microsoft rocks!
(and I have at least one former student working for them).
