Five copies of Windows Vista Ultimate together with five copies of the 2007 Office Professional System and an Xbox 360 console can be yours at no charge. After revealing the humorous side of the 2007 Office System, and after offering to pay for cab fares in London, Microsoft's UK division is at it yet again. And this time is giving away Office 2007, Windows Vista and an Xbox 360 console.

David Overton, working with the Microsoft Small business team revealed that the company's partners have the opportunity not only to win five editions each of Office 2007 and Windows Vista and an Xbox 360 but also to benefit from Microsoft funding for their Marketing Campaign Builder Expenses. The Microsoft UK initiative is designed for Small Business PC, Branch Office solutions or Build Customer Connections Campaigns. And company partners have to hurry in order to jump on board of the Campaign Builder wagon as it ends on April 30 2007.

"Microsoft UK are trying to encourage the use of our marketing tools and also gain some feedback. First of all, the prizes for the best feedback - an Xbox 360 system OR 5 x Vista Ultimate AND 5 x Office 2007 Pro. Next, the cash - we can offer a limited number of people ?150 towards a marketing campaign - if that covers the whole of the campaign, then so be it and it has cost you nothing! This money is to be used at the UK Partner Campaign Builder portal," Overton explained.

Microsoft has set up the Business Efficiency/ Small Business PC Campaign page in order to provide additional information related to the campaigns. Via the Partner Campaign Builder Microsoft partners can receive ?150 for the first Business Efficiency/ Small Business PC Campaign with Partner Campaign Builder. In this regard, Overton has provided the following promotional codes: "Business Efficiency (Small Business PC) - EJYRDTWA (first 30 partners)," "Branch Office - 7AHXBYP4 (first 160 partners)," and "Build Customer Connections - DQH9HCY1 (first 100 partners)."

Details about your experiences with the Partner Campaign Builder should be sent directly to David Overton.

"As many of you know we like to help our partners in many ways here at Microsoft and one area that small business partners have asked for help is in the marketing area. Campaign Builder is a one stop shop to either produce materials and run the campaign yourself, or use the agency to run the campaign for you (or at least print the materials). Well, we have a limited number of discount vouchers to make this a ?150 easier process," Overton added.
