That means Vista Ultimate which normally costs $400 will run him $40. He said that they also cap how much you can spend on an annual basis, but he couldn't remember exactly how much it was but he thought it was around $1000 per year that they can spend on software.$10 for Office XP is even better than what the Microsoft employees get. :) That is pretty good…one of my friends is going to work for Microsoft and he said that they get the software for 10% of the retail cost.

$10 for Office XP is even better than what the Microsoft employees get. :)

(That wasn't a typo.) Not some crippled student version either. That’s a better discount than nothing, I suppose, but when my cousin was attending Indiana University, she got Office XP for $10.

Then I can make a listing and give some brief descriptions of what it does. Good idea Slasher!

You should do an article on the best freeware out there, maybe? Like, Picasa for photo library, Comodo for firewall, etc.Yeah, sure, the OS and Office are hard to get around paying for (OpenOffice is still quite fine to use though) but other than OS and Office, why would people ever need to pay for stuff?Go on, get crackin' on a list and spread the word on freeware ;) Software is the biggest rip-off when you compare it to other media like Music CDs, Movie DVDs, Video Games, etc. Besides, there’s so much great freeware out there, you don’t even need to pay for anything anymore.
