Free Office 2010 Giveaway!

Okay fellow Office 2010 enthusiasts. The time has come and Office 2010 News .com is giving away a free Office 2010 license to one lucky reader!

That’s right – we’ve grown at a rapid pace and we’ve decided to give something back to our loyal readers.

Continue reading to see what you need to do to in order to get the free license:

Simply think of an answer to the following question and post your answer in the COMMENTS section of this article (scroll down to find the comment submission form).

“What will be the retail price of Office 2010 Professional Plus edition (full, not OEM) when it’s launched?” (note: this is the edition that will include all Office 2010 components)

It’s a bit of a tricky question because, well, nobody (including ourselves) knows the answer to this yet :) But it’s always worth a try, isn’t it?

The winner is the person whose answer is the closest to the very first pre-order price of Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus edition on Amazon.com.

We will reveal the winner in the magazine (and contact them via email) as soon as Office 2010 packages get listed on Amazon and the winner will receive their license within four weeks of the product becoming available on the market.

In case of a draw (two or more identical answers being the most accurate), we will choose the winner randomly. All others who have submitted the correct answer but haven’t won the main prize will receive Office 2010 News gear such as a T-shirt or something funnier!

NB! Only one submission per person / IP-address allowed and the answer must be an exact amount in US Dollars.

The competition closes on 30th October 2009 at midnight Eastern Standard Time.

Good luck!

    Will you start spamming my mailbox now? :P

    • editor (Reply) on October 5, 2009

      Absolutely not, Mike.

      Believe me when I say that we hate spam as much as you do!

      We might indeed send you an e-mail about the results of the shuffle, or if there’s anything else to say that is indeed important – but I can promise you that you won’t receive emails from us more often than once or twice during the year of 2010 (likely even less often!), and that there will ALWAYS be a very easy way to unsubscribe.

      All the best,

    By the way you’ve got a mistake in the article. In the very beginning it says ‘licese’ instead of ‘license’ ;)

    • editor (Reply) on October 6, 2009

      Yep, it’s open wordwide!

      Well, ok, if you’re located in Afganistan or some other place that freaks us out bigtime then we’ll have to figure something out :) but the fact is that if you win then where-ever you are, you will either get the prize or a cash equivalent if if the shipping would really be ridiculously expensive.
