This is surprising – just when I had resigned myself to having to buy MS Office (for Upgrayedd) online for $150 (student version), someone tells me our on-campus bookstore has it for $99.
So then I accept that I am going to have to shell out $99, and one of my cohorts tells me about an online 'deal': MS Office Ultimate for $60. I completely dismiss it as being some horseshit 'take 20 surveys, apply for two credit cards, buy 72 magazine subscriptions, and we will put your name in a drawing...maybe' scam.
Well, I got bored today, and went to the site anyway. It's for real, and it's from Microsoft. As long as you have a .edu email address, you can get the FULL VERSION for $60. If you want the dvd, it's an additional $12.
Now, my thinking is, if you don't have access to a .edu email address, go find a student who does and offer to go dutch with them on this, or something. Even buying the dvd, you are still coming out way ahead; this has more than the student version, and costs LESS.
And it works – no tricks, no scam. I am using it at this very moment. Here's the URL; don't say I never gave you anything. ;-)
