Don't trust their calculator. I had everything plugged in and it showed a 9k rebate. I took a screen shot, sent it to my Dell rep and said order exactly what I have plugged in to the calculator. They did and Microsoft cuts a check for 4k, said I didn't order the right version of Visio and Project. Fortunately I have a screen shot showing exactly what the calculator said I would get back for what I was ordering. Now Dell can fight it out with Microshaft since it's in their best interest to get me the 9k to spend with them. But in the end I bet they will probably find some loophole or fine print I didn't read.

Partners do the selling for Microsoft. Most of us would probably never see a Microsoft person but we would see Partners and they come on all sizes and kinds from the Dell/HPs to 'Johnny at the corner Computer store".

Might be time to call your reseller and ask why they didn't tell you about this. I figured as much...just thought I'd pass it along in case someone out there like me hadn't heard about it. - Andy O. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ === STEMCOR CONFIDENTIALITY AND DISCLAIMER NOTICE This e-mail is intended only for the addressees named in it.
