[dba-Tech] Office 2003

You do know about the Microsoft partner program?  $ 300 buys you a TON of
software, with 10 licenses for each app.  Office professional, Windows XP,
SQL Server, IIS Server, and many many more.  This is for resellers of MS
software or developers of apps that use MS software (Access for example).

I bought that package, and now all 6 of my machines have legal copies of
OfficeXP, WindowsXP, a couple of machines have SQL Server 2000 etc.

Ah, the Student Edition.  No they don't qualify for it, being merely a poor,
struggling company - and sharing my professional integrity.  So it's going
to have to be the OEM edition at about £92, and which they do qualify for.

Thanks anyway
John
