Comments on: The Microsoft Office Ready PC Programme http://www.uksmbgirl.co.uk/blog/archives/214 Comments on and within the UK SMB Community (Formerly 'UK SMB Girl') Sat, 22 Nov 2008 04:50:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Susanne Dansey http://www.uksmbgirl.co.uk/blog/archives/214#comment-54856 Susanne Dansey Fri, 06 Jun 2008 03:19:08 +0000 http://www.uksmbgirl.co.uk/blog/archives/214#comment-54856 Hey Marlon, Microsoft Office under the Office Ready Programme is a trial version so after 60 days you'll know because it will remind you to upgrade. The Office Ready Programme is only available on new machines, so if you have just bought your laptop and there is a copy of Microsoft Office 2007 on there which you didn't order (or haven't been charged for), then chances are, you have a trial version of Microsoft Office. If that is the case, give whoever sold you the laptop a call and they can sort you out (for the cost of the software) with a full version. Hey Marlon,

If you are thinking of using the Microsoft campaigns then start to think about Windows Server, SBS, Vista, OneCare, and ForeFront. It would also be good to think about ’server readiness’ i.e. warming your customers up to thinking about the new products that are on the 2008 horizon as well as what you have to offer them now.

You are exactly right with regards to HP ORPCs. You can continue to buy machines without the ORPC option but I would be inclined to push these through if you want to drive a sale on Office 2007 that you couldn't prior to the delivery of the goods.

When we order the PC we also order Office OEM (usually HP BIOS locked) and we get an Office CD to load In the future will i just order a HP Office Ready PC and then all i'll need to do is purchase the MLK for the customer? Hope i've explained that well enough? Thanks Thinking about this some more and have a question
