I went to a "preview of Office 2007" yesterday at the Microsoft Campus in Reading, UK. Looks pretty cool !!! Anyone out there playing with BETA 1.
Evidently, I was scouring MS website today and becuse the have so many products, they dont have a products section on thier site so I googled it. and came up with a list of what they have... . JUST INCASE ANYONE IS INTERESTED.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_software_applications |

To be honest, now that OpenOffice 2.0 is out I no-longer use MS Office, as OpenOffice is compatible with MS Office documents and can do everything I want to do in Office. In fact, I prefer it to MS Office, much slicker and faster. So there is little point in spending $1000's on licenses to install MS Office on all my workstations, when OpenOffice does everything I need for free. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Borg,
Have you checked out the Action Pack from MICROSOFT. You get almost £15000 worth of software for internal use and it only costs £199+VAT. You get 10 licenses for Office 2003 Pro.
I have subscribed to the action Pack for nearly 5 years now, and swear by it. You get a file with all the software on it.. Win2k3, Windows XP etc..
Have a look at this link

Huh? That has got the be one of the worst pages for a graphic design program. The headings are in italics and the fonts render like crap. They should have used their own software and made them images  ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

I've already signed-up and put in my order, should save loads on licensing. Now I wonder if it's worth looking into trying to become a Microsoft Certified Partner, or is that quite difficult to do? ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

It is not difficult. You need a product certification. I don't think you can do it with asp anymore but once you have a .net forum maybe. When you go to the http://www.microsoft.com/uk/partner/programme/certified/default.aspx?page=requirements - partners site they have it outlined there. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

To become a certified Partner, afaik you need to have at least 1 MCSE working in your company. I think the program costs like £900 for a year as well. You can find out more on the partner site www.microsoft.com/partner |

I don't have an MCSE nor do I want to pay £900 per year, so I think I may have to forget about that one, but I will look through it anyway when I have 5 minutes spare.

This is one of the best MS tips I've received in a long time. I signed up too. !!! The ActionPack plus costs $400 for us in the US and I'm holding off on that for now but with all those licenses included, it's a no brainer!!
I'm working out a deal with a gold certified partner which may save me the $$ so I'm waiting to see how that pans out first.
 Thanks for the tip!!!
