Microsoft upgrades available

For those of you who have been waiting patiently for our long overdue software shipment from Microsoft, it has finally arrived! You may now purchase the media and the right to install and use the following Microsoft software on your personally-owned computer:

• Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade ($11 each)
• Wndows XP Professional Upgrade ($6 each)
• Office Professional 2007 for Windows ($6 each)
• Office Professional 2004 for Mac ($8 each)

Quantities are limited to one per employee. Before purchasing, please verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements (see: Minimum system requirements to run Microsoft products). You will need to stop by the IT Service Desk to complete an order form and then take it to the Cashiers Office in the Administration Building to pay before receiving the software. We will reserve your software for you for 24 hours when you complete the order form (pending your submission of payment to the Cashiers Office).

This purchase gives you the right to use the software on your personally owned computer. You will be required to remove the software from your computer if your employment with MCG ends or if MCG opts to not renew the agreement with Microsoft.

To place an order, please stop by the IT Service Desk in the Library. If you are an MCG employee based outside of the Augusta area, e-mail us at for special ordering instructions.

Please call the IT Service Desk at 706-721-4000 or e-mail us if you have any questions.
