Economisez de l'argent avec le 'crossgrade'

[geoffrey]

Ca a deja ete dit plusieurs fois (il me semble) mais en ces temps de sortie du Tigre, ca peut etre bon de le rappeler.

D'abord, la depeche (MacDailyNews) :

Switching from Windows to Mac? Never forget to ask to "crossgrade" your software. That is, if you're switching to Mac, ask for the Mac version of your existing Windows software for the upgrade price before you just go out and buy a whole new version for full retail price.

Some vendors will charge you only for the shipping of the Mac version of their application and a promise to uninstall your Windows version. Better yet, if your original CD or DVD contains both Mac and Windows versions on the same disk, some vendors will simply require you to send them a signed form in which you promise to uninstall the Windows version and they'll give you the Mac serial number.

You'll be surprised at how accommodating some of these software makers can be and you'll also save a lot of money!

Here are some telephone numbers and links that may come in handy:

For other vendors, check your software packaging for customer service numbers.

En gros ca dit que la plupart des fabriquants de logiciel proposent l'echange des logiciels versions PC vers des versions Mac si l'on possede deja une version PC. Dans le meilleur des cas, c'est gratuit, et au pire, c'est le prix d'une mise a jour (donc beaucoup moins cher que l'achat du logiciel).
