join:2005-06-20 Nepean, ON | What is the cost of this software? I hope it's not too outrageously pricy as the rest of MS apps.

It looks like if you can scrap up enough for 5 or more OS licenses (basically being a VLK customer), it will allow you access to the software cheaper. You would have to contact a Microsoft Reseller and ask about the cost of the Microsoft's Software Assurance (SA) program for 5 licenses.

The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) for Software Assurance is an add-on subscription license available to Software Assurance customers. It uses innovative technologies to help reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the Windows desktop by accelerating operating system and application management and enhancing IT responsiveness and end-user uptime. It will enable you to better control the desktop, accelerate and simplify desktop deployments and management, and create a dynamic infrastructure by turning software into centrally managed services.

| They sell you a product that cost around $150.00 and trying to sell you another product to "diagnose and fix it" for $1200.00. Am I seeing things. 
Good info, doc.
Before I try it, does it fix or diagnose but no fix until you pay? I have a lot of parts make virgin PC.

| It fixes for 30 Days. After it expires, I assume it no longer boots and says expired instead. There isn't anyway to buy it and extend the 30 Days, you'd have to order it from MS or a Certified MS Reseller/Solutions Provider to get the non-expiring version. -- Whats the point of owning a supercar if you cant scare yourself stupid from time to time? |
