We here at David’s Blog will also be trying out the software and writing a review fairly soon, but in the mean time if you fancy winning a copy of iMindMap’s Exam Success software, which would normally set you back by around £15, then you can enter this competition by filling out a “Contact Me” form.

Remember to include a valid email address and write in the message box “iMindMap competition” so we are aware of which competition you are entering. The closing date for this competition is the  24th December, and the winner will be sent a serial number and download instructions once we have received initial confirmation that your email address is valid.

Extension: Due to fewer than expected entries for this competition we shall be running it until the 30th January 2010.

Posted by David | Filed under Competitions, Software, Student Saving Tips

David’s Blog are pleased to announce the first of (at least) two competitions that we will be rolling out in the run up to Christmas, both compeptitions should hopefully save some lucky student a signficant amount of money on buying some of the great software out there.

Our first competition is to win a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, kindly given to us by Microsoft to dish out to a very lucky person. The RRP of Windows 7 Ultimate is £229.99 and the software boasts some massive improvements on the previous Microsoft incarnation – Windows Vista.

Update: Our lucky winner was Roger from the Wirral! We hope you enjoy your copy of Windows 7!

Windows 7 Ultimate

The Ultimate edition as the title would suggest is the Ultimate Windows 7 to own containing all the additional features that the cheaper versions do not contain.

To enter the competition simply fill in a contact form in the “Contact Me” page. In the message section please put your postal address and the line “Windows  7 Ultimate Competition” and one lucky person will be randomly picked out of the hat on the 18th December, ready to receive it in time for Christmas Day! We are working at putting a proper submission form on this page but unfortunately we can’t get them to work correctly currently!

Please note that this competition is only open to UK students with a valid .ac.uk address, you must also have a valid UK postal address to send to. If the winner fails to reply within 1 week of the competition ending a secondary winner will be chosen. Only one entry per email address is permitted

Microsoft Student Deals!

Posted by David | Filed under Student Saving Tips, University Life

For those who are after a copy of Microsoft Office 2008, or the new Windows 7, Microsoft are offering a great, mouth watering, dealing to students. They have Microsoft Office 2008 for just under £40 and Windows 7 priced at £30, both absolutely massive savings, and they aren’t half baked offers either, you get the entire Office suite for your £40 and the Home Premium or Professional editions of Windows 7 for your £30.

To ensure you are an actual student the only requirement Microsoft have is you have a .ac.uk email address, which every university student in the UK will have. A great deal, well worth taking up if you are a student!
