The exact same way that it tried to create positive that orders for Vista wouldn;t drop off the experience of a cliff through a Windows 7 upgrade-option offer you, Microsoft is priming the partner pump with a new Office promotional deal.
The new Workplace sales supply is known as the “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 No Far better Time Promotion.” Under terms of the deal,
Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate, Microsoft is enabling partners to offer customers 20 percent off the price of Workplace Professional Plus 2007. Those who take advantage of the offer will get Workplace 2010 when it releases in June 2010. The deal allows users to spread their payments over three years; to get training using supplied vouchers; and e-learning courses to produce self-pace interactive training. (There are other, unspecified additional benefits that “will vary based on licensing program purchases are made thru and quantity of qualifying licenses acquired,” according to a posting on the Microsoft SMB Community Blog.
I;ve asked Microsoft officials for some more specifics about the program (whether it applies to all partners or U.S. only,
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Keygen, when the offer expires,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, and more). I;ll add any information the company provides to this post once I get more. Here;s some more info:
