The USTHB .NET club has organized a Microsoft install festival since yesterday, up to Wednesday, 26th, 2008, but what’s this festival about anyway?? Well, the USTHB students can bring their PCs to the .NET club, and they can benefit from genuine licenses of some Microsoft products, here is the list of the available products in English:
- Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition (x86 and x64)
- Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and Standard
- Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite (x86 and x64)
- Visio Professional 2007
- SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition
- Project Professional 2007
- Office SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise
- Expression Studio
- Windows XP Professional with SP2
- Windows Vista Business
- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft MSDN Community Distribution Program CD
Two days have gone by since the beginning of this event, and as a .NET club member I can say that Microsoft is moving closer to the USTHB students and showing a great interest on IT students, it’s a positive thing as there’s been a lack of such initiatives in our universities.
So, come and bring your machines !

I think that bsd/linux systems are more interesting for universities, since they enable to learn more and deeper. I don’t understand why there is no initiative by the club to promote those systems ?!?!

We’re interested in open source operating systems as much as we do in proprietary operating systems, and there are lots of open source initiatives coming soon, we want to introduce students to all technologies so they can choose what they want, as a club we don’t want to limit the students choices.
