I love the Microsoft Campus agreements. We just got Office XP here at Purdue University and it only set me back a whole $5.00. We have all the same titles as above, but ours only runs us $5.00/title.

They have this at a lot of campuses

Here at Texas Tech, I can download for free Office XP, Visual Studio, Windows 98/ME/2000, and Norton Antivirus.

If you get them at Purdue, is that for any MS software including operating systems or just the office suites?

Thanks

Uh, they have student discounts at Portland State University, but it's still in the $100's for Office, etc. You guys have it good.

 

[minendo]

We can get: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Win2k, Office 97, Office 2000 Professional, Front Page 2000, Office XP and Office 2001 for Mac, FrontPage 1.0 for Mac, Visual Studio 6.0 Professional, BackOffice, Front Page 2002, and Windows ME. Its quite a selection. I picked up just about all of them since they are only $5/title.

[ChrisOh]

[dpham00]

Damn, UCSB sucks. They have Office XP for $150.


Also, Windows XP won't be officially released until mid-late October.

 

[sworshs]

The CSU system have tons of MS Software for free, all you have to do is check it out from the labs.

 

[GermyBoy]

Haha! Purdue has this all for $5 each. I just got Office XP and Frontpage 2002 for $10.

 

[Triggerhappy007]

You can add Office XP Pro with Frontpage for $18 to the list.

At Worcester Polytech we had a Campus Licence agreement (CLA) so we got everything for free. If you wanted to rip a 'backup' you could. They didn't sell media though, and you got NO manuals.

The downside is that it was 50 smack a semester whether you used it or not. These are not really hot deals, at least at my school, you had to pay the 50 beans even if you didn't own a computer. MS basically thought that college students were pirating all their software (many are, and, in fact, now it's much easier), so they figured why not just bully the schools into charging everyone for what we assume they are all using.

Ppl like me who run linux, and win98 (liscence came with a dell I bought) basically got shafted. So I took the chance to burn maybe $1000 worth of software that I never use.

Brrrr. VERY cold. Make sure you know this often isn't free, this is one time where I say, burn it and give it to friends who may need it. If MS is gonna give it to you in the a$$ then give it to them right back.

IMHO, that is.

At the Universtiy of Texas at Austin, I think we have a huge site liscense because I asked the guy about WinXP and he said all the copies they sell, for 5 dollars a CD, would have the same activation code. Don't know how reliable but, for 5 dollars a CD why not.

This Microsoft CEA covers the whole University of Texas System. It used to be available completely free if you burn your own disk. Now you are required to physically go to the store, show your ID, and sign an EULA.

According to the school,


<< We believe this will give UTS a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining students, as the software tools they most often need (and usually buy on their own) will now be available to them at no additional cost by attending UTS schools. >>



Windows 200 and OfficeXP are also covered by this CEA.

[Edit]: BTW, the deal started from Fall, 1998 . I've got Office97, office 2000 premium, windows 98, Visual Studio 6, windows 2000.

What I'd love to know is how universities like Purdue, Texas, and others get them so cheap. Around here it's cheaper to buy from one of those online vendors who sell academic software...
Where I go they sell Visual Basic 6 academic for $120. I can get it online for $65.

 

[monkeyserverdotcom]

freejack2, see my post above. Many Universities make you pay 100 bucks a year or so, although most ppl don't really "see" that cost up front, so it seems free.

I went to Stevens Institute of Technology and it was only $12.50 a semester.

 

[Jdog]

$65 /semester computing fee and no CLA at CU Boulder. Suks.

 

[corinthos]

I wonder if Cal will have Windows XP Pro Academic Edition and how much it will be...
