Anyone know exactly what to tell Microsoft? I don't think they'd take "Uh, I got the code from, uh, someone.".

man, kicking myself real hard right now, got 50 off 3 months ago with a total of 249 and thought i got a really good deal. At $99, it is a steal for all you MS partners.

Holy sh!t this is a hot deal. I was going to wait until I move at the end of the month before ordering but I can't pass up $99 for it instead of $249.

Does anyone know how long the code will be valid till?

Also, how long does it usually take to get delivered once you order it? Thanks

What an unbelievable deal. I've seen this for a couple of years now, but always $300 +. For $99 I couldn't pass it up. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

You have to backtrack a few / in the URL..

What happens after 1 yr and you want to activate one of these XP's though...Im not sure if the COA's are listed with M$ and wont activate after a year..?
Im tempted to get the package though, great deal for $99!

Can you buy multiple Action Packs at this price? Like 3? I need 2 or 3 licenses of Server 2003, and this would be a great way to get them, but I'm not sure if they will sell me multiple packs. Guess there's one way to find out.

We apologize;
The Server was not able to process your request, or is temporarily busy.

You can use the Retry button to attempt the operation again or if the issue persists, please check back at a later time.

This is what I get when I try to log in with my Passport, which you must do to purchase the Action Pack. Can anyone else get in?

Super flaming hot! I was holding out for the right time to get this deal, and I'm glad that I did!

The promo code was from an email promotion to Partners, and although their site is a little slow, it was well worth it!

It sure will be nice to get the full Office 2003, Exchange 2003, etc for free when they're released later on this year.

You need to be associated with a company that's a MS Certified Partner. Not sure if they'll take the made up ones like they did last time for the XP Lava Lamp deal ;)

I am going to get this but the only thing bumming me out is that you only get two keys that can be activated only 5 times each giving you your 10 licences. If you are the type of person that formats every month then that might be a problem.

You don't need to activate the software if the software is removed within 60 days.
