  • kernelRiot, on 02/21/2008, -0/+3You can't say that MS doesn't have a good reason behind this. If you start using their tools as a student, you'll be familiar with them and want companies you work at later to buy them to use. This is very good marketing!! Hook the users when they're young and they'll be yours forever! That said, I'm all for free software! I'm downloading them all right now.
  • TwistedHope, on 02/19/2008, -0/+3Not sure why this story hasn't made the front page yet -- this is huge! Loads of really expensive software costing students nothing!
  • alwaysmc2, on 02/20/2008, -0/+2Microsoft deserves some sort of praise for this.
  • inactive, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1This is awesome. Now, if only they'd add Microsoft Project to the lineup - we need good management tools to make good software!
