Maybe this isn't such a bad idea! You wouldn't have to worry about whether the new SP or update is going to destroy everything!!!!!

Anyone have a valid promotion code? The MHQ062 doesn't work anymore.

They actually called me and offered this to me. How could you possibly turn this down? Pluse free updates in the mail. I got mine a couple weeks ago and got my first update kit yesterday.

 

[bluegreenturtle]

Were they offering at the usual $299 price or is there a deal now?

I bought the action pack 1.5 yrs ago and about 6 months ago renewed it.

I'm tempted to buy this one JUST because it's such a good deal.

i wonder if they are going to have nice discounts at the next renewal

Mine came in the mail today, and I got in at the $99 price, but when I ordered, they said that I couldn't get that price again, and that next year it would be $199. Anyone have any experience with re-ordering? Can you get the deal twice?

Like any other coupon which expired or sale which is over, who knows when it will happen again? We'll just have to wait and see.

I just recieved my action pack update in the mail today. Looks good. Does anyone know of a code that works to get the pack again at $99 dollars. I know someone that wants to get it but they want to do it online with a code and not call them and tell they that someone told them about it for 200 less.

 

[Whitneymuse]

suggest you tell your friend to call them if you don't believe this thread, but this deal's been posted as DEAD for some time.

Listen for your phone to ring.. if you're lucky and already registered as an MS partner, you might get a call for this. I was just called this AM @ 9 and they offered me the action pack for the $99. Total was $104.94 shipped. What a great deal.

Yep, they called me again this AM and told me it was good until the 31st, so I jumped on it since I am not broke this week.

Good stuff in there of course, but I am intersted in a lot of the migration and learning material as well since I have to upgrade my domain from NT 4 to 2003 AD and add an exchange server early next year.

 

[matt2233]

Is there any codes to get it for 99 Dollars this month. I would like to do it online someone please try to get me a code for 200 dollars off thanks.

When M$ called me for the 2nd time, the guy stressed to me that the ABSOLUTE last possible day for this deal was going to be 8/32. Got my stuff, NICE!

So would that mean 9/1?
