This post ONLY to Mac users of Boot Camp, who might
want to take advantage of this half price opportunity.

Reduced price ONLY applies to orders placed
on or before June 30, 2008
866-977-3324

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional 9.0
(NOT 9.5 - - - will run on Windows XP
but NOT on Windows Vista)

List Price $899.99
Special Price $439.00

Details:

Offer is valid in the United States and Canada only.

This special offer cannot be combined with
any other offer.

Nuance has the right to limit quantities
and a No Returns policy applies.

Offer expires June 30, 2008. (Monday)


So what does this all mean in practical terms?
*********************************************

It is a good deal for Mac Boot Camp users who
already have Windows XP installed, and who want to
use the very best speech recognition software
available for personal computers, PC _or_ Mac.

Nuance realizes that their unsold stock of version 9.0
will be worthless when Windows XP can no longer be
bought in retail stores, so is dumping that
unsold stock off with this half-price offer.

There is very little doubt that they will sell the
remaining Dragon 9.0 stock off quickly.


Phone number for placing orders, 866-977-3324

I just might place a few orders there myself,
_provided_ that I can still pick up some remaining
boxed versions of Windows XP at places like Best Buy,
or Office Depot.

Beware! - those XP disks _have_ to include both
SP1 and SP2 integrated into the install disk.

I just phoned my local Office Depot store and they have
two remaining boxed versions of XP Pro full-version
in stock, price $300 each.

My Office Depot does not know if they will be able to get
boxed versions of Windows XP in the future, after they
sell their two remaining packages.

Beware! - About Boot Camp, I have not been able to get
my always-on DSL wideband connection modem device to work
with either Windows XP or Windows Vista; I am limited to
using a slow dial-up connection.

My DSL always-on device works fine on real PC hardware,
with both XP and Vista.

Whoops, I forgot to include the website, for those who
prefer to deal with websites instead of "866" phone numbers:

http://store.1st-dragon.com/drprolebu.html

Also, I am just assuming that the version on special is 9.0
which only runs on Windows XP, not Windows Vista which
needs version 9.5 to run.

It would not make any sense for them to offer version 9.5
on special half-price, because they can still get top
dollar for that newer version.
