Are there any on here? I need to buy SBS 2003 standard +5 and would rather keep it within PH if the price is right ;o) also need networked antivirus/spyware and firewall porbably AVG as I like any company that gives out free stuff and think they deserve paying for the corporate stuff ;o)

Thanks Jon I'm lost for words!!!!! I've just got off the phone to them and I now have winging it's way to me an absolute mountain of Software including SBS Premium +10, 10 seats XP Pro, 10 lots of office premium plus loads of other stuff I'll probably never use for £199/year. My flabber is well and truely garsted by my sums that is several grands worth usable software plus several more that I may or may not use all straight all licensed and all in order and sorted. Thanks very much that really does strike me as the deal of the century but just not publisised outside of geek circles ;o) they didn't even care that we are metal bashers and will never sell a microsoft product all the time my arse has a hole in it!!!!!!!!! (having said that I will recomend it far and wide which I guess is the idea) Cheers I owe you beer

I was totally straight to the guy on the phone about what we did and although it is still slanted to IT professionals/developers and general geeky types he said they don't care, they are working on the logic that probably 80-90% of small business hasn't got it's house totally in order as far as licenses etc are concerned (how many honestly buy one copy of office and install it half a dozen times?????) their logic is that every business that signs up is one more they know is straight and one less they have to look at, when they really start looking. I guess they started with the IT types as that was were the biggest abuse was going on. Makes sense to get 200 quids off everyone rather that a few grand from the 10% that have got their sh1t in one sock.

Bad news if you sell MS business software though I guess as that's a large chunk of dough they won't be seeing
