I just wanted to make sure that everyone eligible knows about DreamSpark. This is a package that Bill Gates / Microsoft has put together to offer a lot of programs to college students to stimulate the mind. I recently participated and got some GREAT programs out of it. The programs and the links are:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition
XNA Game Studio 2.0
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition
Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition
Microsoft SQL 2005 Express Edition
Microsoft Visual Web 2005 Express Edition
Microsoft Visual J# 2005 Express Edition
Microsoft Virtual PC
All of the above programs can be found on the DreamSpark website here. Keys for the programs that require them are also provided and they work. You got to love it when you have so much money you can “throw it away” so that in 5 or 10 years you’ll have people that are familiar enough with what you threw away that they will come work for you and make you lots of money.
So in order to be eligible you need to be able to prove that you are a college student. There is a list of colleges that if you coincidently attend you can type in your IRN or SSN and they can verify you that way. I personally attend the University of Phoenix and it was not provided but I simply had to take a screen shot of my schedule and IRN and email it and they verified me. Since this is Microsoft, you will need to have a Microsoft email whether it is Hotmail, MSN, or Live.
I believe this promotion is being offered through different scholastic sites but the one that I used was JourneyEd which was very easy. If you take the link I provided, it will take you right to the DreamSpark checkout page or you can search on their website for Item Number 11111726.
You got to love Bill Gates; I added up the actual retail value (ARV) of everything he is giving away and need to post how much it is on its own special separate paragraph. I just want to remind you this is the value of what you get for FREE!!
MORE THAN $2,856
