Based on the latest promotion from Microsoft Malaysia as below.


"Beginning August 1st, the Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition will be permanently marked down to RM279 from its current price of RM499. Furthermore Microsoft is having a special promotion in conjunction with PC Fair II just for the months of August and September whereby an extra 20% discount will be offered which brings down the retail price to only RM199."

Query 1
20% of RM279 = RM223 rite? How come RM199?


"Also if you are heading to PC Fair at KL this weekend, make sure you are one of the early birds as Microsoft will be selling the first 100 copies at only RM99."

Query 2
PC Fair II is starting from 1st - 3rd Aug, so in order to enjoy the first 100 copies at RM99, so what day should we go? Friday or Saturday? Coz the above statement mentioned as "this weekend".

Thanks!

Guess what, I managed to go early this morning when they opened the door to public. Yes! They are selling MS Office Home and Student at only RM99! So I quickly get one! Also there is a lucky draw for every purchase, mp3 player, backpack, mouse. etc. I only get myself a back pack.

Not only for IPTA, everybody also can buy. But limited to first 100 customers and 1 unit each.

After 100 customers at RM99, then selling for RM199? Still cheap if compared to original price.

Yes, even they sell at RM199 is still cheap compared to RM499 last time.

I went to Low Yat right after the PC fair, and simply asked 1 of the shop what's the price for the Home and Student 2007. The lady told me RM450! I told her Microsoft Malaysia already reduced the price as of today. But it seems she was not aware about it. Guess if someone purchase from that shop at RM450 and later on found out PC Fair is selling at only RM199...ha...
