I just noticed on the Microsoft site that "Students, faculty, IT support staff of academic institutions, and Microsoft IT Academies are eligible to receive academic pricing on select Microsoft Certification exams." Does TechSoup have a nonprofit discount for MS Certification Exams? Thanks!

I'm doing a lot of "democratizing" this year - training staffers to do the blogging/email blasting for their own department. We lost our Communications Lady, and aren't replacing her, so we don't have much choice, and I honestly think it's a better way to maintain our online presence. We started Twittering a couple weeks ago

Just piling on the bandwagon: Look at Google Apps. It's powerful, free, and solves a lot of IT problems (backups, uptime, sharing calendar, sharing files, archives, collaboration, documentation, administration) in an integrated and free way.

I'm wondering - could we get a final, definitive statement on this from one of the TechSoup staffers? If Symantec doesn't include the agents, I know NovaStor included Exchange and SQL agents in its 500$ price, and has been getting a lot of positive attention.

I agree that it's better not to take a step back. Publisher is more than adequate for a lot of things, but if you've already got templates and history in InDesign, if you can get your hands on a copy, InDesign would be a better way to go.

I downloaded the beta... briefly. Was slow compared to IE7. I can see how it'd be useful to have the IE8 beta for a designer, but I just want to say that Microsoft Betas are not like Google Betas. IE8 is a real beta, meaning it's not really ready for prime time. And unlike a Google Beta, eventually IE8 will move out of Beta into a full release
