In addition to last year’s offering, Microsoft now give you the option to buy Visio and a Windows upgrade to Vista Ultimate.
By visiting www.theultimatesteal.co.uk, and confirming your identity as a student or member of staff with your university email address, you can purchase and download Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate Edition for only £38.95 – saving over 90%!
The offer is available from now until the end of June 2009.
EduServ, UCISA and Microsoft have recently launched a new community website for IT professionals using Microsoft technologies in higher and further education.
The site has a collection of forums, wikis and document libraries which are somewhat sparse at the moment, but will be more useful the more members of the community start to contribute. In an attempt to persuade people to build the site up at the beginning, they’re offering book tokens to people posting content.
You don’t need to sign up in order to browse the site, so I’d recommend you at least take a look at www.educoms.net and see if you think you’d want to get involved.
