Microsoft Deal for Students - Office 2007

[RJF]

Beginning Sept. 12, Microsoft will launch a special Web-based promotion exclusively for students called The Ultimate Steal. Students who are actively enrolled at eligible educational institutions will be able to acquire Office Ultimate 2007 via the Web at the low student price of US$59.95. Calling this promotion “The Ultimate Steal” is spot on when you consider that this is a savings of over 90 percent of the retail price of Office Ultimate 2007. The retail price is what students might think they would have to pay, when much lower pricing such as this has been available to students for many years.

it's a good deal for the people that aren't cool enough to go to ms office parties like me

interesting site name.
$60 in microsuck's pocket is better than $0 for a torrent of Office downloaded.

This is a smart move on their part.

I might buy it just because my Vista laptop's version of office was a trial and is now expired. Some of my professors are requesting Power Point presentations so I may have to pony up.

Other than that, I'm liking Google Docs right now. It definitely surpasses Word and Excel with being able to access my documents anywhere.
