    I work for a large computer company and we got a copy of Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 professional for taking a 10 minute training. However, I don't need either because of my MSDN subsrciption. I thought about selling them on eBay but I wouldn't get near as much as they retail for. (Ultimate is $400 new at Best Buy and going for about $250 on eBay.) What would you do with the software?

    You can give it for some Social Cause. The vendor should have applicable license terms for that. Check with the vendor.

      I recommend giving it away to needy ham sandwich lovin' geeks who will use it to good advantage by returning the favor by developing more free, polished, powerful utilities[^] for the world to enjoy. :) /ravi

        Ugh. We have a wedding in LaCrosse Wisconsin. In September. The bride's name? September. Too annoying. I'm offering to be the DJ as the last family wedding the DJ blew chunks and I took over. Everyone agreed it was one of the best dances they had ever been to.

        I was just reading the FAQ on a program I learned about here at CP. It's a 'wonderful' tool and the price is right and always has been. In the FAQ the guy is delaying his release of his next version because he's waiting for a copy of Windows Vista. I heard a rumor that you were looking for something to do with yours... If you are interested: So what's the hold up? Well, the development is still far from complete, but another hold up is that I am waiting to get my hands on a copy of Windows Vista. Because this new Microsoft OS is so different from the previous OSes, extensive testing and updating might be required to make TWI work with Vista. I don't want to release the new version without being confident it will work on this OS. http://www.thewonderfulicon.com/[^]
