With the recommendation from Student Senate, we wanted to share some great offers that Rockhurst Students may want to take advantage of very soon before they expire.

1. Microsoft Windows 7 is available for only $29.99 by going to this website: http://www.win741.com and clicking on “Buy”, then “Buy Now”. You will need to input your student e-mail address and you will receive a confirmation e-mail allowing you to order the software for this price. If you upgrade to Windows 7 we recommend you remove McAfee Antivirus first, and be sure to backup your data.

   Windows 7 is already supported on Cisco Clean Access so you will still be able to get on our network, but you will need to install Microsoft Security Essentials (which is free) instead of McAfee. For more information on our anti-virus change please visit our website: http://help.rockhurst.edu/msav.

2. Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 is available for only $59.95 by going to this website: http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx. Again, click on “Buy Now” and input your student e-mail address and you will receive a confirmation e-mail allowing you to order the software for this price. Office Ultimate 2007 includes Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007, Access 2007, Outlook 2007, OneNote 2007, Groove 2007, Publisher 2007, and InfoPath 2007.  
3. Microsoft is giving 1 Asus Netbook away each day for 50 days. The offer runs from October 26th – December 14th, 2009. To enter visit the following website: http://my.liveatedu.com/contest and click the “Enter Sweepstakes Now!” button and fill out the appropriate information including your student e-mail account.
4. Get access now to 25GB of free storage you can access anywhere. As part of your Exchange Labs e-mail account which has 10GB of storage space for e-mail, you also have what is called a SkyDrive. Your SkyDrive is basically 25GB of storage space on Microsoft’s servers for any files you want to save and have access to from any Internet connection. Think of it as a 25GB flash drive on the web.

   To access your SkyDrive, log into your Rockhurst e-mail account and click on the SkyDrive link at the top of the page, then click sign in. For more information about using SkyDrive visit the following website: http://www.windowslive.com/Online/SkyDrive

Thank you and we hope you enjoy these great offers!
