Learn - Read & Earn (Not games)
I read a lot of tech articles (like ZDNET) and that is how I found out about the Give Away.

I got Both....

It is not that I want to use it in a production environment but to learn more and be ready for Application or Office Development without going broke before hand.
It has been a rough 3 years and money is not exactly flowing in my wallet.

Actually I like to Thank ZDNET and Microsoft for putting this article and the PowerToghter.com (hosted buy Ascentium) to give some folks a chance.

The only issue is that I will need to buy a copy of Outlook 2007 to get the
Workings of Office 2007 Professional. (Outlook is Not Included in the Professional version)

Don?t understand why they did this but, what good is an Office package without a Email application?..

Hey It is free, and I have office XP, and If I play my cards right I can get Outlook 2007 free.!

Dear Uncle Sam?
