Microsoft ITSNOTCHEATING Promotion
Microsoft is currently running a promotion under which Australian TAFE and university students can purchase Office 2007 at a reduced price. Each student is allowed to purchase one product of either Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 (perpetual license) for $75 or a Microsoft Ultimate 2007 Subscription (12 month license) for $25 per year. The "It’s Not Cheating" promotion will run from 15 October 2007 until 15 May 2008.
Details of this program can be found at http://www.itsnotcheating.com.au/
FAQs can be found here
The tafensw.net.au domain has been registered with Microsoft for NSW TAFE students. TAFE students will have to validate themselves on the itsnotcheating website with their TAFE email addresses before making any purchase.
This promotion will potentially add to the requirements for MS Office 2007 from our students.
