TECH TOLA

Dream spark. What a name for a clever initiative from the one and only "tada" Microsoft.

• Visual Studio 2005/2008 Professional Editions
• Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
• SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition
• XNA Game Studio
• Expression Studio

All this given absolutely FREE by Microsoft !! Can't believe eh ? But its true. One small catch here bro. Its only for Students. Check out all the products here

PressPass: Why is Microsoft doing this?

Wilson: We believe students can do amazing things with technology if given access to the right tools. This is a way to make sure that they have what they need to test the boundaries of what today’s technology can do and also prepare for a great career at the same time. The added benefit to industry....... BLAH BLAH BLAH

I'm not an anti-Microsoft guy. I love their products XP, VS 2005 I work with them everyday. But I personally feel this isn't a move to promote students and on a social interest. Why not all these days? Guess they started to realize the power of Open source software. Or at least Firefox !!

Is there who is not ready to accept that Firefox is far far better than Internet explorer ??
