crn.com | at | by Mike
Microsoft will offer rebates to corporate customers, is providing free trial editions of some Office applications, and has beefed up the business-oriented content of its Office Online Web site.
Companies which buy the Office Professional, Standard, or Small Business editions and that also sign up for Software Assurance -- a Microsoft program that provides upgrades in exchange for a yearly fee -- are eligible for rebates as high as $38,000. The amount of the rebate varies depending on the Office bundle bought and the number of copies purchased.
The rebate offer is good through the end of April 2004, and is available only through Microsoft's Open Value, Select, and Enterprise Agreement licensing programs.
