Very cheap Microsoft software + other stuff:
Now before anyone says this has been going for years, it's the first i've heard of it! Anyway:
MOD personnel are entitled to 1 copy of Microsoft products (only those listed). I have just purchased Office 2007 Enterprise for £8.95 (RRP £300!!).
https://sabs.sbl.r.mil.uk/ - from a works pc.
register with works email
click Home Use Program
and you should see:
Apparently they used to mail out the cd, but now it is a download (they mail the links to your home email).
If you have a look around the site, there are PC games, XBox games, loads of stuff!!
Fantastic!

the link will only work if you use it on a MOD pc ie you have to be at work to place the order. They will then send you a link to your home email to download the software.0
