Throw Your Name in the Hat to Beta Test Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Edition

Microsoft Office 2010 is about to hit public beta (which I'm keenly interested in since I'm tech reviewing a new book on Office 2010). One of the more interesting developments is that Microsoft Works -- that program that seemed to ship on every computer on the planet but no human being was ever known to have used -- is discontinued. In its place will be a free, ad-supported version of Office, called Office Starter Edition. And Microsoft is looking for beta testers. Want to sign up?


If you want to get in the best testing action, you can apply for a slot in the queue by filling out the Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Program Nomination Form. It's less than 10 questions long and takes just a few moments to complete. After that, you might be selected to beta test Office Starter. Good luck!
