(Update: 3/24/08 – Deal Expired – sorry) — Hot on the heels of Tuesday’s Technet 40% off code is an unbelievably better deal for students. For only $99 they’ll score working copies of the major operating systems, Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Dynamics and CRM. There’s two catches. You have to know the secret code. You have to be a student (of something). Just remember, the same way those cable tv descramblers of the 80′s were for “experimental test purposes”, these non-expiring licenses are for evaluation use only. Read on for the link and save your student $250.
The Microsoft Technet subscription allows for access to technical resources like the Technical Information Library as well as the most popular Servers & Operating Systems, 2007 Microsoft Office and Microsoft Dynamics Software (here’s a link to the complete list of the software & benefits).

Notes: It appears this code is only valid for the download (Direct) subscription, will work only for NEW subscriptions and only provides the software license to use the above mentioned products for evaluation and not in production. And in true Microsoft fashion, it looks as if you’ll need to use Internet Explorer to place your order (I was not able to successfully use Firefox – only when I switched to IE would the order go through.)
