ChemIT has signed up for a Microsoft DreamSpark subscription on behalf of CCB educators, researchers, and grad students . For example, in October 2013. Now our graduate students can now get any version of Windows ($40-200) on their personal laptops, for free. As well as other Microsoft software. |
Benefits of the Microsoft DreamSpark Premium subscription to CCB

- Research lab researchers get access to expensive Microsoft programming software for free.
- Ex. Visual Studio Pro 2012, $500 list (no academic pricing available).
- One Note is made available for researchers, educators, and grad students.
