Hi, guys...we're always looking for inexpensive ways of adding to our
software toolboxes.
Has any ever bought Microsoft software under their Home Use Program?
One of Product Managers turned me on to this.
Your company may have a deal worked out with Microsoft that allows you
to buy the complete 2007 Enterprise Suite for your own use for, get
this, $19.00
It comes with:
Word 2007
Excel 2007
PowerPoint 2007
Outlook 2007
Publisher 2007
Access 2007
OneNote 2007
InfoPath 2007
Groove 2007
I ordered the package this afternoon...it's not one fo those Russian
bootleg programs...it comes from Microsoft.
There are conditions:

eligible to participate in the Home Use Program which has the
following guidelines:

Be sure to review them to ensure compliance with the program
requirements.

You may use this software only while you remain employed by your
current employer and while your license has active Software Assurance

This is not an advertisement as I don't work for MS nor have a stake
in this other than some who took part in the offer. Check it out. Your
employer mayh have something in place and you don't know it
