SUNY Broome

The Computer Studies Department has a subscription to Microsoft’s MSDNAA (Microsoft Development Network Academic Alliance).  This allows us to provide students with selected Microsoft system software titles like Operating Systems (Windows XP, Vista Business Edition, Servers, etc.) and some software development software like Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.  Sorry Microsoft Office is NOT available through this program.
