Microsoft Offers
Unprecedented Savings
for Minority Students
Microsoft Corp. kicked
off its ultimate deal cam
paign with the Ultimate Steal
Promotion that is targeting
12 Historically Black
Colleges and Universities
(HBCU) and Hispanic stu
dent organizations at colleges
and universities in the U.S.
The campaign was cre
ated to offer students attend
ing these institutions oppor
tunities to purchase the
Microsoft Office Ultimate
2007 Suite at a much dis
counted price, $59.95 (U.S.)
- a discount up to 91 percent
from estimated retail price of
$679.95 (U.S.) - as well as
encourage student-led organ
izations to become involved
with the Ultimate Steal
Affiliate Program.
Microsoft's continued com
mitment to education in
diverse communities was the
force behind the program.
"At Microsoft, we under
stand the needs of the college
and university student popu
lation in the U.S., and we
want to provide students with
the tools they need to suc
ceed in their careers," said
Naman Khan, Worldwide
Product Manager, Office
Ultimate Steal. "The
Ultimate Steal Promotion
allows students to maximize
their productivity and reach
their frill potential, at a frac
tion of the price they would
otherwise pay at a retail
store.
These savings are espe
cially important in today's
challenging economy."
Office Ultimate 2007
helps students achieve more
in school by providing them
with the tools to better
organize assignments, create
more dynamic presentations
and manage projects so they
can do more in less time, all
while gaining technology
skills that will allow them to
compete in the work force
after graduating.
Microsoft is also
demonstrating its commit
ment to be the industry
leader in bringing technolo
gy programs and services to
minorities and women
through its Ultimate Steal
Affiliate Program, where
students will be able to earn
money to help support their
student clubs and organiza
tions.
This program provides
student organizations with a
unique URL that allows stu
dents to refer other students
who attend their school to
take part in this great offer.
For each product
downloaded from their ded
icated URL, Microsoft will
provide the student organi
zation with one dollar from
the sales.

Affiliate Program, students
