Somehow, I was included in a special program verified by Microsoft to obtain at no cost*, the following products:
* Visual Studio 2010 at no cost
* Three Visual Studio? 2008 licenses.
* Two Expression? Web 3 licenses plus an Expression Studio 3 license. - They gave me one for Expression 4 Studio Premium DVD
* One Windows Web Server? 2008 R2 license. - Might do this later
* One SQL Server? 2008 Web Edition license. - Downloading now
With a special footnote:
This offer is only valid for two weeks and will expire on 6/29/10.
*At the end of the three year program there is a one-time $100 program fee.
---Not forwarding the email per the instructions ---
I found this a bit curious as it almost seems to be too good to be true, but I did verify everything and it appears to be legit. I do have the right to cancel within 60 days with no cause and not have to pay per the contract that I signed. Anyone else get set up with something like this?
I am a Mac user, and developer of web sites, but do have a couple of PC's laying around and will surely be checking this out very soon. I do want to grow my business and these might be some good tools to do so. If this doesn't work out for me, I will do the cancellation and provide total proof as they request of destruction of documents/downloads/materials.
