The Microsoft Partner Action Pack seems a very cheap deal. Is there a catch ?
5xXP pro, 10xXP Office etc etc all for £199+VAT !!!!
I know it says 'for the year', but once you've got the disks......
Has anyone taken up this offer ?

Yup, I work for a reseller and we've just a load more CDs arrive with more software on.
It's only for resellers ie not Joe Public and MS do check up on the people ordering. I know of at least company who is also a reseller that's had trouble getting a pack.

Although anyone in IT could claim to be a consultant.
