Office 2007 Ultimate for not much
I received this in an email newsletter from Microsoft:
This must be the best offer that I have ever seen - Office 2007 Ultimate for
£38.95!! It'll probably be time-limited but at this price would be worth it!
I am sure that you all have Student status...
=============================
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7651466
The Ultimate Steal - Students get Office for £38.95 here!
Seize the deal! Get Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for just £38.95. It's a
total steal: save time and money with this premium offer. Office Ultimate
2007's brand new features and fresh look will help you organise and get all
your work done in the blink of an eye. The Ultimate Steal is finally here,
so grab it now!
=============================
I have not checked this - I already have Office 2007 Professional (and I
paid MUCH more than £38.95!!) - but I really think that I must share this.

Wanna bet...
Am I Eligible?
You must hold a valid email address at a U.K. educational institution
ending in .ac.uk (for example, leina@contoso.university.ac.uk)
AND
If you are a Higher Education student, you must be enrolled in an
undergraduate or postgraduate level course
If you are a Further Education student, you must have at least 15 hours
of scheduled contact time for your course
Also, you may be asked by Microsoft to provide proof of enrolment status
(i.e. Student card). If you are unable to provide proof of enrolment,
you will be required to pay the full retail price of Office Ultimate
2007 (approximate ERP £599.99).

Awful that .sch.uk students cannot get access - just tried it now and it
wouldn't let the address through.

Nope - the Student Select scheme is for qualifying institutions only.
The more general student/academic scheme is for teachers and school
students but doesn't offer the same huge discounts.
Do an accredited course and take advantage while you're doing it. I
saved a fortune.

Don't fall for it, it's just microsoft's latest drug dealer trick of getting
people dependent on its fileformats. And of course, once once lot of people
are dependent on their fileformats and start sending files to other
people...
Those other non-qualifying people will have to pay the full price.

Or they could use a free viewer. Or, a competing package that opens the
office 2007 stuff...
