    Anyone have a list of Irish Microsoft resellers that do volume licensing for XP + Office (3 or 4 would be enough).

    Anybody know if its cheaper to license XP + Office from UK resellers than Irish resellers (more competition, lower
    vat rate etc etc), and any downsides from getting the
    licenses from the UK??

    Microsoft have a list of volume licensing "partners" on their site:

    generally, the EULA states that it must be purchased in country

    The product doesn't exist because Office is now a service.

    The business model doesn't exist because you rent Microsoft Office rather than buy a license Or you get an alternative like Google or Libreoffice or Openoffice or use a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard.

    Closing thread.
