MS Action Pack

[Ducker]

Just wondering, is anyone here subscribed to the MS Action Pack? I know the next quartly shipment is due to be sent out at the end of this month. Has anyone heard if they will be including the new Office 2003 program in this shipment?

After registering, then you can buy the MS Action Pack (http://members.microsoft.com/partner/salesmarketing/partnermarket/actionpack/actionpackus.aspx) Subscription. With the Subscription you get:

Plus a bunch of other stuff. Also for Win XP & Office you get 10 licenses each. You also get 10 licenses for another 1 or 2 of the programs. PLEASE NOTE this is all Not-for-Distribution Software. Meaning that it can only be used by people in your company. This is a yearly subscription service. After this initial "Welcome Kit", you get three quartly update kits. To join I think it costs $299, then $199 per year renewal. I got in on it when they had a deal on to join for $99. There was a thread about it in the Cyber Deals fourm a good while back. I know I've been really happy with it, I have a small company (real small), & ended up with more software than computers to put it on. :D I just noticed that I answered my own post, they are including the new MS Office 2003. :D :cool: I'm hoping that they have another deal on by the time I have to renew. If not, well I guess I'll just have to cough up $200 bux.

Lol, the MS action pack should come with a secret MS fanclub decoder ring or x-ray specs or something...

This was a great deal for the $99 :) Like ya said more software than computers, but we're loving it!

But will the 2003 versions come in the update pack, or when I renew my subscription?

Depends on when your subscription runs out. They should send you some emails when it's getting close. But if you'r one year subscription hasn't run out, you should be getting your update pack sometime at the first of next month. And it DOES have Office 2003 it it with lots of other new goodies. I was just getting use to Office XP. Oh well, I've tried out the beta for Office 2003 & its very stable. So looking forward to trying out the final release. ;)
