Hey, for all you guys that are in college make sure you look into weather or not your school is appart of the Microsoft MSDN project. I found out today that Devry was appart of it. I knew earlier this year that I could get Office for free. However, today I realized there was another part of the program that was hidden to most users. I got the following software all for free from my school with keys and everything:
Service Pack 2,
Microsoft 2004 SQL Server Developers Edition,
Microsoft Map Point,
Microsoft Live Communications Server 2003,
Microsoft ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition,
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition,
Microsoft DirectX 9 developers kit,
Microsoft 2000 Server,
Microsoft OneNote 2003,
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition,
and Microsoft Virtual PC 2004!!!!

Wow, talk about a ton of software!! I bet I got tens of thousands of legal software for free!!!! So, for those of you in college make sure you check this out with you school!! I am going to be having lots of fun. However, now I need another PC to be able to place with all this stuff!! :talker: :talker: :)

FYI: I will not distribute this to anyone so don't bother asking.

That really cool chriso. I would take advantage of all of that possible. An opportunity like that does not come around everyday. Makes me wish I was back in school. But when I was still in school we were using 5.25 floppies and Word Perfect version 3 I think. Get it all...talker. :)

Oh, I got every last title I could!! LOL I figured I am paying for it in my tuition so I might as well get it all. There are some stuff in there I most likely will never use but what the heck!!
