I read an article on ars technicha that said I could get a free copy of Office 2010 if I agreed to test it extensively. I went to the Microsoft Connect site and it looks like they are trying to get home users, students, and small businesses to agree to use Office 2010 on a “loaner” laptop for 6 months and then be willing to “share your story” through public relations and marketing. I don’t really fall into any of those categories but I would like to start using Office 2010 since most of my day is spent in Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and InfoPath with some Visual Studio and other applications thrown in.

I filled out the survey and I will see if I am selected. If you are interested too then you need to live in the US and fill out the survey before June 30.
