As part of Microsoft’s commitment to the small and medium business segment, Microsoft is extending the Desktop Legalization offer to November 30, 2005. Originally, the offering period is supposed to end on October 30, 2005. In light of the request for extension by numerous business segments, Microsoft Philippines was able to secure an approval to extend the Windows COEM promo. Customers who wish to legalize will be allowed to buy a Windows COEM license without an accompanying PC or non-peripheral hardware component until November 30, 2005.
The Desktop Legalization Offer allows any business for a defined period of time to buy COEM of Microsoft Windows XP Home or Professional Edition even if not bundled with the purchase of a new PC. This move is a testament of Microsoft’s solid commitment to the welfare of their customers.
