Comments on: Microsoft PR Firm Fails at Word of Mouth http://www.aceonlineschools.com/microsoft-pr-firm-fails-at-word-of-mouth/ Tips, Tools, and Smart Stuff for Online Students Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:25:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Erichttp://www.aceonlineschools.com/microsoft-pr-firm-fails-at-word-of-mouth/comment-page-1/#comment-239 Eric Thu, 23 Oct 2008 22:47:43 +0000 http://aceonlineschools.com/?p=401#comment-239 That is funny - especially as I am the guy at Microsoft that owns this site. Apologies for the impersonal nature of it, it was brought to my attention and I am looking into who posted on your site. As for the "personalized" information - what I would say is that many students do not know that there are academic discounts on Microosft software. The Ultimate Steal is a very good deal for college students to be sure (Office Ultimate 2007 for $59.95). However there are additional (and sometimes even better deals) available through their universities, or for K12 students as well. Many of those deals are referenced here: http://www.microsoft.com/Education/howtobuystudents.mspx I hope this is helpful, it's great to get powerful tools into the hands of students and see what they can do with them. Let me know if you have additional questions. -Eric That is funny – especially as I am the guy at Microsoft that owns this site.
