Microsoft Product Evaluations
January 23, 2009Participate in Microsoft Product Evaluations and get rewarded :-)
Hi all,
Since I am Usability Coordinator for Microsoft User Research, I wanted to let you all know that we have a number of research studies coming up so I am forwarding the relevant links below for anyone who wants to participate and make a difference to our new products.
Microsoft user research focuses on how people interact with hardware and software products; the information and feedback gathered is translated directly into product design improvements.
Designers take all the research and insight gathered in order to discern whether the product does, or does not do, what people expect and how it can be improved upon. Past participants have enjoyed these studies; finding them to be unique and informative by being directly involved with the development process and meeting with members of our development teams.
Starting in 2009 Microsoft User Research is planning a series of user research studies during February and March timeframes in the Boston and Atlanta areas for several of Microsoft’s product groups. Whether you use Windows, Zune, Office, SharePoint or any other product developed by us, this is a unique opportunity for you to provide feedback and receive a gift for your participation.
Everyone can participate in Microsoft's User Research program, whether you are a student, IT Professional, Educator, Healthcare professional or Homemaker, we always look forward to your feedback. Interested in participating? Email us at itusable@microsoft.com with Atlanta or Boston in Subject line.
If you are not based in Atlanta or Boston and are interested in participating please email itusable@microsoft.com with your city in subject line.
Thanks, Nina
