Microsoft Office Ultimate for $59.95: The Ultimate Steal is Back!
Starting today, August 20, 2008 college students in the United States enrolled in at least .5 credit hours can purchase Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate Edition for only $59.95. This is the version that sells at Office Depot and other office supply stores for over $600. Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate includes:
- Access 2007
- Accounting Express 2008
- Excel 2007
- Groove 2007
- InfoPath 2007
- OneNote 2007
- Outlook 2007
- PowerPoint 2007
- Publisher 2007
- Word 2007
I read some research last year that showed that the $60 was the price at which most college students would be willing to buy the software rather than pirate it, so while Microsoft probably doesn't make much profit at this price, it does go a long way in preventing software piracy. Check out The Ultimate Steal today and tell a friend. This offer may not last forever. Last year it ended in May (although I notice there isn't an expiration date on this offer). One note of warning: The software sale and distribution is being handled by Digital River, not Microsoft. So when the e-mail with the product key comes from Digital River, some people might accidentally delete the e-mail thinking it is SPAM or it may get automatically pushed to a SPAM filter.
