You don't want to miss these competitions that are going on at both Microsoft Subnet and Cisco Subnet this month.
MICROSOFT SUBNET GIVEAWAYS
BOOK GIVEAWAY
We are giving away 15 free copies of the super hot title Why Software Sucks ... and What You Can Do About It.
Here's a preview: "That'll never sell," I sneered at the title in the bookstore. "Who would publicly buy a book that proclaimed to all the world that he's a dummy? It'd be like buying condoms labeled 'extra small.' " We all know how that one turned out, don't we? DOS for Dummies and its companion, Windows for Dummies, became the best-selling computer books of all time.
Go here for details on how you can enter to win.
The book's author, David Platt (who was designated by Microsoft as "A Software Legend" in 2002) will be blogging for Microsoft Subnet this month. Check out David Platt's blog here. We also have a longer sneak peek of the book available. (Chapter 1: Who're You Calling a Dummy?)
Plus we have free chapters from many other titles. Enjoy! (Hint: correct answer is "dumb".)

Microsoft Subnet and New Horizons Computer Learning Centers have partnered to bring you an offer you can’t refuse.
