 Well I spoke to them and they have confirmed the above is correct ... but
 you can guarantee getting a preview copy if you join Microsoft Plus for
 thirty-odd quid. They send you 6 magazines a year and there will be a coupon
 in one of them to send off with your 19.99 for a preview copy ...
 I suppose its one way of getting new members =;)

 cheers
