MOD personnel: Very cheap Microsoft software + other stuff:

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:
The products currently available to download include:
Microsoft Office Enterprise Edition 2007
Microsoft Office Project 2007
Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007
Microsoft Office Sharepoint Designer 2007
Microsoft Office MAC 2008

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!

    yes it is, but this for MOD (we can't access the NHS one)

    So thanks for that valuable input.

    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.
