Doesn't have to be DII - I have accessed it from an RLI IGS account no problem, and as I think Navynet is part of the RLI there shouldnt be a problem, although I wouldnt put money on it !! :cool:

One thing to be wary of with these products is that they are the OEM versions. This means that they only have 3 installs (or is it 5) and then the product cannot be used again. This isn't a problem if your computer system is stable, but if it crashes often, or you wish to put it on several computers, just be careful!

True but it just takes a quick call to the Microsoft helpline and they can sort you out if you need to reinstall. They'll only do it a couple of times though. I believe the licence only covers you for installation on one computer anyway.

Don't know if it's a long standing issue but the page with the Xbox games errors before you can place an order, so I couldn't actually see what the prices were.

To be honest, the choice isn't that great with only about 8 games.

Does anybody know if the new discounts offered to students on Microsoft 7 and the new office suite will be extended to the MOD? If not, does anybody have any idea of how to apply a bit of pressire to make it so?

Try emailing Bill Gates with a descent email you never know.

Probably in due course, or when they realise nobody will pay full price for it !!
