FREE - Microsoft Build - May get discounted software later (YMMV) - bjcheung77 - 05-19-2021
Microsoft Build is free again until May 25, 2021 Link: https://mybuild.microsoft.com/home
If you are lucky, you might get discounted software or games for Xbox Live like last year. Some people were able to get discounts simply by registering. Essentially, people were able to get an email only when they completed some challenges.
50-80% off MSRP on all things digital. This includes Windows, Office, Xbox Game Pass, and Xbox Live subscriptions.
Receive $5 off your first purchase. You can purchase a maximum of $250 at heavily discounted employee prices.

Thanks, I signed up! They have some interesting-looking sessions listed. Fingers crossed that I actually get into at least a few of the RSVP-only ones.
RE: FREE - Microsoft Build - May get discounted software later (YMMV) - rachel83az - 05-31-2021
Unless I am missing something, it doesn't look like there is any discounted software to be had this year. At least there were some interesting events.
