Baruch College CIS Majors - All about Microsoft DreamSpark (OLD VIDEO) 

NOTE: THIS VIDEO WAS ACCURATE AS OF 2013 BUT NOW WE HAVE A NEW SOURCE OF MICROSOFT SOFTWARE: AZURE DEV APPS FOR EDUCATION SO THIS VIDEO NO LONGER APPLIES.
Baruch College CIS Majors - All about Microsoft DreamSpark. DreamSpark (or the Microsoft Developers Network Academic Alliance - MSDN AA) is a software store where Baruch Students can download many different MS software products for free.
YOU MUST BE A BARUCH COLLEGE CIS STUDENT TO USE THIS SERVICE.
If you are not a Baruch CIS Student, please check with your College's IT department and see if they subscribe to DreamSpark/MSDN AA. Or, you can join the IEEE Computer Society as a Student Member (about $50 a year) and gain access to the same software titles.
A few corrections:
At: 2:07: MS Access is used in CIS 3400 Database Management Systems
Visual Studio is used for CIS 3100 Object Oriented Programming
At 2:48: OK, so maybe Visual Studio Ultimate is not quite $5,000 but $4.2k is pretty close: www.microsoftstore.com/store/m...
Windows XP is also still available as of June 2013.
