Yes, it's an employee perk, and Microsoft knows to use it as a way to
woo their customers.


                     .::PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT::.

If you work for a medium to large corporation, many of the vendors the
company uses may offer employee discounts. Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft,
Verizon, AT&T and TMobile all have programs where companies, if they
choose, can offer discounted products to their customers.

The Microsoft Home Use Program is pretty good, you can get a year of
Microsoft 365 for 5 people for less than the price of one for large
corporations, and the Dell deal works out to around 10% off of their
lowest price. Ask your friendly neighborhood IT manager if they offer
any vendor benefits.
