Do you have a friend who is a student in the USA?

Microsoft has something called the Ultimate Steal. you can buy MS Office Ultimate for about 60 dollars.

Requirements

-have an email ending in edu

http://theultimatesteal.com


The US deal starts again on Aug 20......no info on when the Canadian deal will resume

"Students can get “Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007” for only $59.95 so there must be a catch, right?

Normally this software package sells for $650-$700. Yet, there are remarkably few “catches” with this deal. You have to be able to prove that you are a student, usually by giving a valid college e-mail address or identification number.You will need a computer with pre-existing Microsoft support programs and enough free memory to support “Office Ultimate 2007.” “Office Ultimate 2007” may not include everything you want, but it is still a good deal for many students.

According to the Microsoft media release, the “‘Office Ultimate 2007’ is the premium Office suite and provides students with a comprehensive set of tools that can help them create high-quality documents, gather and consolidate lecture notes and other information, stay organized, find what they are looking for quickly and easily collaborate with colleagues and professors across geographical boundaries.” source (http://media.www.arbiteronline.com/media/storage/paper890/news/2007/10/25/Biztech/Is.The.Ultimate.Steal.For.Real-3054988.shtml)

It was available this past winter to Canadians as well. I suspect they'll offer it to us again. I know it was a pretty big success for them also as instead of students pirating copies they at least got some revenue from it.

I was checking out this site earlier today and it would not let me enter my e-mail address. Any idea as to when the Canadian site will be online? :D

I didn't know they were bringing it back. It expired last in March.

2007 is really awesome. The "References" feature is a godsend for students. You just insert a reference, it pops up and asks you to enter the relevant information and then automatically formats it for you (APA/MLA/etc). At the end, you just insert the bibliography and it automatically creates one from all your references.
