Excerpt
If CCB pays for a subscription and administers permission lists, CCB faculty and students get professional developer tools and software from Microsoft via downloads.

STEM is "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math".

Why should CCB do this?

Any graduate student can get any version of Windows ($40-200) on their personal laptops, for free. They don't have to delete it when they leave (but they must get it before they leave!)
Research labs, like Freed's, get expensive (price?) programming software for free. Ex. Visual Studio Pro 2012, $500 list (no academic pricing?).
One Note for both researchers and students.
May promote use of Visio (drawing tools) and MS Project, especially if staff can use it.
4 technical incident tickets, priority support, and MSDN forums.
