This is a repost, but a good deal nonetheless. I recently purchased this (no promo was required when I did it) and received it about a week later. Great deal. Hard to beat all that software for ~$315 (after and shipping).

Bah, MS screwed up all the Office XP Pro PID codes...none of the 5 worked for me! Now I have to wait a week for them to send new codes + new media via slow as molasses UPS (how does MSFT not have express shipping?) :| :| :|

Oh well...I guess I can try this Beta 2 of Office System (Office 2003) that came with the Action Pack too :)

Keep in mind that this is a subscription...in order to continue using the software you have to renew your license after a year. I don't know if activated software times out or not...but its possible???

It doesn't time out but you will no longer be "legal" in the eyes of Microsoft after they year.

Microsoft keeps calling me on the phone on this offer except it's $99 over the phone instead of $299.

I have been tempted to jump on this deal although I am mostly using the 2000 versions of Office and Windows on my computers. I'd say once the new version comes out, it will be worth that cost each year. I saw the beta of Office 2003 a few weeks ago for $20.

Holy crap...at $99 I would buy 3 subscriptions just for the Server 2003! How did you get on their "A" list to be called with that price?

Send them to me...I'd be happy to take a few $99 Action Packs off their hands!

betcha that's why they keep bugging you about it. ;)

Good one... I had to go through 37 messages in my saved voicemail on Verizon Wireless which took 15 minutes but here's the number... Microsoft for Partners Team.... 1-800-214-6223.

The license agreemnet in the package sugests that 10 licenses are provided for office xp, xp pro, project, visio, etc...

However, there were no more than five keycodes for any piece of software. In the case of XP - only 2 keycodes were provided.

What's up??

This deal kicks ass. My girlfriend is going to love having the new Office 2003 when it comes out.

I think people should do a group deal or something since there are 10 licenses, find 9 other people to share the cost ;)
