Hi,[NL][NL]I wanted to pass along this info I just found on Microsoft's site - there's a great offer going on that could save us a bundle of money.[NL]I'm not sure if you know how much we like using Visual Studio Professional, but there are some features that we DON'T have that would be really handy to have that come with the more advanced Development Edition. [NL]I won't bore you with the feature details, but here's the deal: [NL]          [NL]We'll get 30% off with a Step-Up License to Team System Developer Edition with MSDN Premium. And now we'll get even more bang for your buck. Team System 2008 Development Edition with MSDN Premium now comes with Database Edition - it's like getting two for the price of one! (Offer details here: http://www.microsoft.com[SITE_ROOT]/howtobuy/offers.mspx#get-more-for-less )[NL]The short story is that we'll be able to hit our launch dates and get to market quicker, since Team System Development and Database Editions will totally reduce some tedious, repetitive grunt work and make our code higher quality from the get-go. And we save a ton of money. [NL]It's a sweet deal. If you want me to walk you through the features and details, just let me know and I'll stop by when you have a few minutes. [NL]          [NL]Thanks,

Hi[NL][NL]I wanted to pass along this info I just found on Microsoft's site - there's a great offer going on that could save us a bundle of money. [NL][NL]I'm not sure if you know how much we like using our solo edition of Visual Studio Team System, but there are some features that we DON'T have that would be really handy to have that come with the complete suite. [NL][NL]I won't bore you with the feature details, but here's the deal:[NL][NL]We'll save 45% when we step up from a Team System Edition with MSDN Premium to Team Suite with MSDN Premium. (Offer details here:  http://www.microsoft.com[SITE_ROOT]/howtobuy/offers.mspx#step-up-from-any-team-system )[NL][NL]Team Suite is like four products in one. Architecture, Development, Test, and Database Edition - plus Team Foundation Server Workgroup Edition and Expression v2. [NL]The short story is that we'll be able to hit our launch dates and get to market quicker, collaborate better and make our code higher quality from the get-go. Testing will be a lot easier too, since the code will be tighter and there are features that can help replicate bugs. [NL][NL]And we save a ton of money.[NL][NL]It's a great deal. If you want me to walk you through the features and details, just let me know and I'll stop by when you have a few minutes. [NL][NL]Thanks,

Hi[NL][NL]I wanted to pass along this info I just found on Microsoft's site - there's a great offer going on that could save us a bundle of money. [NL][NL]I don't know how much you know about Visual Studio, and I won't bore you with the feature details here, but here's the deal [NL][NL]They're offering A 2-for-1 Offer: Buy Team System Development Edition with MSDN Premium and we'll get Database Edition too - all for the price of one! (Offer details here:  http://www.microsoft.com[SITE_ROOT]/howtobuy/offers.mspx#2-for-1 ) [NL]The short story is that a) these two editions can cost over $10,000 together, but now we can get both sets of functionality for one low price. b) We'll hit our launch dates and get to market quicker, since Development and Database Editions will totally reduce some tedious, repetitive grunt work and make our code higher quality from the get-go. [NL][NL]It's a sweet deal, don't you think? If you want me to walk you through the features and details, just let me know and I'll stop by when you have a few minutes. [NL][NL]Thanks,

Hi[NL][NL]I wanted to pass along this info I just found on Microsoft's site - there's a great offer going on that could save us a bundle of money.[NL]Our current development software has worked okay, but I think the whole company will benefit if we switch to Visual Studio. It's the leading software development environment that is PACKED with features that we don't currently have. We'll be able to produce better code and it'll speed up the whole process. [NL][NL]And now we'll save money, just for switching.[NL][NL]Here's the deal:[NL][NL]Microsoft is offering to cut up to $250 off Visual Studio if we switch. (Offer details here: http://www.microsoft.com[SITE_ROOT]/howtobuy/offers.mspx#save-up-to-250 ).[NL]I think it's MORE than worth it to look into. Switching will be easy... we should be able to port our current work without any major issues or downtime and it'll more than pay off.[NL]If you want me to walk you through the features and details, just let me know and I'll stop by when you have a few minutes.[NL]      [NL]Thanks,
