Microsoft forsøger ihærdigt at presse små og medium virksomheder væk fra Windows XP og ældre versioner af Office-pakken. Med lanceringen af "Up-to-Date Discount" kampagnen vil Microsoft gøre det billigere at opgradere til de nyeste versioner af Windows og Office.

"Up-to-Date Discount" bliver gjort tilgængelig for programmet "Open Value Subscription", der er et program som virksomheder kan deltage i og betale deres software-licenser over en længere periode istedet for med det samme.

Kampagnen som Microsoft har søsat igennem "Open Value Subscription" hedder N-2 og tillader brugere af Windows XP og Office XP at opgradere deres gamle versioner til Windows 7, Office 2007 eller Office 2010 (Office 2010 kun hvis de er villige tli at vente på udgivelsen).

Her er de konkrete detaljer hentet direkte fra Microsoft SMB Community Blog. 50% rabatten er beregnet på den gennemsnit pris via en normal forhandler. Kampagnen er tilgængelig indtil 30. juni 2010.

For Microsoft Office Professional Plus:

* Before the Office 2010 launch: Companies with OEM, Retail, or Volume licenses for Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, Office 2003 Professional, or Office XP Professional

* After the Office 2010 launch: Companies with OEM, Retail, or Volume licenses for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 or Office 2003 Professional

For Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade:

* Companies with OEM, Retail, or Volume licenses for Windows 7 Professional, Windows Vista Business or Windows XP Professional

What you get:

* 50% off your 1st year OVS payment for Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade or Microsoft Office Professional for every qualifying N-1 or N-2 license you have.

* As an example, in the U.S., this means you would be paying $35.00 for a Windows 7 Professional Upgrade and/or $91.00 for Office 2007 Professional Plus in year 1, plus receiving all of the Software Assurance benefits (such as an automatic upgrade to Office 2010 when it launches, Office Home Use Rights, and much more) for that price!
