Ask Microsoft for Software


I approached my very good Concordia classmate Meghann Poku (Wilkinson) who is currently employed by Microsoft about the possibility of Microsoft donating software for the computers. They initially thought I was thinking about software for only 10 computers but they still came through when I confirmed there were 100 computers.
She talked to Babs Coler also at Microsoft whose daughter is a current student at Concordia andthey decided to check into it. I hope they approve our request.
I requested 100 Windows XP as the operating system; Microsoft Office and Microsoft Visual Studio .Net for programming.
