I get a large envelope in the mail today at work from Microsoft. Im always getting junk mail from them so I open this just cause of the large size of the envelope and low and behold what do I find?

A "Complmentary" copy of Office Professional 2003 and Office OneNote 2003.

Complete with install keys and everything. :shock:

I think it should have been posted in "jokes and humour" section :wink:

[fishfreek]

Yep its from them. This is not the first time I have gotten free software from them.

Cd's got their hologram crap all over the front that makes them almost impossible to read at a quick glance.

[fishfreek]

No joke dude.

[oldsnail]

Did they send it to you at work or at home? Where do you work?

[voinea]

this really happened ?

[fishfreek]

YES.


GOD do I have to take photos of the damn packagin and the cd's.

It was sent to work. When your in the IT field you often get free things. Usually its crappy free magazine subscriptions or demo disks of shitty software. Since this Office media was unexpected it was a nice thing to find in the mail.

i think theres nothing wrong with buying fake copies of any microsoft product. The guys have been ripping us off for the last decade. We need to pay them back.
