Want some free books?

[BBA]

These are awesome books from MS...all you have to do is click through the links and submitt!

Awesome W2K Admin reference book and awesome Off2K deployment book with cdrom resource kit...all free!

http://www.microsoftdemo.com

I figure the books are worth about $80.

[chipbgt]

Thanks BBA!

Thanks bro!


BTW from the little I did watch it looks like a good demo to see if you are thinking about getting Windows 2000.

[Warthog]

don't forget, it's TWO free books http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif...hehe I don't even have Windows 2000....oh well. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Maybe I could sell 'em or something.

Warthog

[tonym]

Thanks BBA!!!!

The demo wasn't THAT bad. I figured I owed them the 5+ minutes it took to complete the demo out of courtesy for receiving the books.

Good show...

[narayan]

Thanks BBA!

[chipbgt]

Tonym you actually watched it? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif once it had downloaded completely you could fly through the whole thing.

[Dave_H]

Thanks BBA http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
Hot tip! Looks like some good stuff.
Thank-you too Bill.
Dave

[FrozenLiquidity]

Haha!

That was sorta stupid of Microsoft, but they can afford it. I am suprised that noone at Microsoft has realized that their offer is moronic. I mean, what percentage of the people that go through the tour actually do it for the Win2k and Office2k info instead of the free book? Like 2%, and that's if they're lucky. In a way I think it's funny that they did such a stupid thing, but I feel sorry for them too, being ripped apart by the government and people always trying to take advantage of them(such as this case). But they can only blame themselves for this sort of thing happening. And who doesn't want free books?

I wouldn't mind getting some...

[Faramir]

Thanks BBA!!

[socalgal]

Done! And it was totally painless http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks, BBA! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[jad1097]

FrozenLiquidity
2% of 100,000 would be 2000. Now 2000 X $400=$800,000! Say the books cost $5 to produce and deliver both of them, then they would still make $300,000.

Stupid? I don't think so. I don't see them loosing any money from this.If they do then it is a Tax write off.

[FrozenLiquidity]

Hey jad, you have a good point, but I never said that 2% would actually purchase the product.

FrozenLiquidity

Oh yeah, just a reminder, everyone should join the SysOpt ICQ Activelist.

[zzzreyes]

FrozenLiquidity....
addition to jads....
well picture this, u get a free book, a free book that is going to teach you how to become efficient networking in win2k, now if u ever get an administrative position where u have to decide on an OS, obviously u had a free book from win2k, so u know how it works, therefore u buy it!
yes.... it makes them millions!
trust me it does... very smart...

[BBA]

Well, I think you will all enjoy the books!

MS is giving away some really valuable info in them too.

[Mntsnow]

Thanks again BBA http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[KillerBug]

So what "Corporation" are you ordering the books for, mine is "sfahtdsjgsdafdsa"

[chipbgt]

Beefcake Enterprises, of course.

[Detemeat]

Maybe some day this will be more than a hobby for me!

[jad1097]

[Serge]

So you like books eh? Cisco periodically offers free networking-related books. I've included link to some of those...

"Voice & Data Internetworking" by Gil Held (http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/lm/buffer/offer/1700routers/b2/1309_jump_b2/d853-000xx)

"Network Security Fundamentals" by Peter Norton (http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/lm/buffer/offer/securitysolution/c/1338_quiz2/V389-100K1)

All the books have arrived (via USPS) about 2-weeks after completing the request.


EDIT: For MS books.. instead of clicking through the presentation use the direct link (http://www.microsoftdemo.com/default.asp?demo=1).

Here's another one from Cisco.
I'd edit my original post but Warthog might miss it that way.

"Enterprise Campus Design Folio" (http://cisco.com/pcgi-bin/lm/buffer/offer/4006cat/1320_jump/L464-166XX)

[x35Agent]

Thanks BBA
You did it again
You are the man
I am nothing compared to you
Your powers are superior

http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Nah....It's nothing, I just get exposed to all this on a constant basis.

Thanks Serge...I did the cisco book thing just now! ( I already got a t-shirt from them once, hehe )

Thanks BBA for the link
http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[eespinosa]

Are those "books" on the Visio CD or did I go to the wrong page?

[smokin1]

Looks like the old link expired eespinosa..I was just responding to an old post to show how long it takes for someone to walk all the way up here with my mail...
http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

[Variable]

So no more books from MS?? Buuuhh (Well at least I will get a CD)
And this link isn't working either: http://www.smartbooks.com/pubmomspress.htm
Buhhhh

[cyclone2]

The Great White North strikes again! Finally got my MS books today same as Smokin 1.
Gave up on them a while ago, also got my desk copies of Win 2000 books (2) same day, thats $285 (cdn) of free books in 1 day.
Life is good- thanks BBA http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[U-96]

Well, I didn't really expect to get them in the UK, but they arrived today by surface mail, with $8.50 in stamps on the box.

Hats off to the MS Gulf States guys and thanks for the tip-off BBA, it was worth the wait http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

U-96

[Savant]

What the books are gone? I only get Visio! I don't even know what it's for, but I guess I'll see when it gets here http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

[shadow]

I got the win2000 and office2000 about 2weeks ago, many months after applying to the link posted here at MS. Trouble is that the books came owing $9. A customs charge cuz someone put a value on em of $40 when they mailed them from the USA to Canada. Still very cheap books.

[Southern Belle]

hi,

thanks for the info am there ok did the visio but find where yal found books and how or where to get to Win2k.
