    AFAIK, express editions are free. Still, when you "volunteer" for some testing you are not entitled for something in return.

      Isn't Express free anyway? The 2008 express was.

      The OP's joking, the user-id itself is purely used for humorous takes on Lounge issues :-D

        Not really a troll, though that could be one interpretation. See the user-id's message history.

            Even without the icon, the user's posting history, and his reference to the recent rants we've seen from beta testers expecting licenses as gifts should have been a dead giveaway. The nicotine withdrawals are probably slowing you down :rolleyes:

                  I did before posting. I vaguely remembered his post about concert tickets, taking the p*ss out of CG and as this thread is obviously doing the same on Joe Woodbury's message earlier today here[^], I checked first to make sure it was the same guy. Unlike you young whizz-kids, I only know a few of the appropriate terms and Troll was as near as I could get to describing this kind of activity. Do you have a better term?

                    Henry, what I am getting at is that the guy's probably a regular CPian, who's quite likely to be really friendly with a good number of active CPians :-) It's not trolling if he's family. That's my perspective anyway.

                      I was going to post before d@nish et al fell for the line but was unsure about the 'Troll' thing. When they fell for it I thought I would warn others. I was quite serious about not knowing a better term, maybe [wind-up alert] would have been better, unless you have something more pithy. :)

                          I did some beta testing for Visual studio and today I got an email with a link from where I can download Visual Studio Express 2010 for free. In the past, I was given some small items such as paper weight, glass balls, or t-shirts. This is the first time I got the actual software I helped to test. Gestures like these are what make you continue to help companies test their beta products.

                          Lucky you! I got a certificate for a 50% discount off of VS Express 2010 (and a fabulous magic paper weight.)
