Microsoft offers students massive discount on Office Ultimate 2007

Cloud-based productivity suites are popping up left and right these days and each new product poses a new level of competition to Microsoft’s Office Suite, which at one time had reached monopoly-like status. It’s still certainly at the top of the pile of course and Microsoft is planning to embrace the cloud at some point, but the company has a more immediate need to invigorate current Office offerings. The solution? Get ‘em while they’re young. Regularly priced at $679.95, Microsoft just dropped its student pricing on Office Ultimate 2007 an unheard of 91 percent to $59.95. That’s right, Ultimate 2007 is now less than half the price of Home and Student 2007 which only includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote compared to Ultimate 2007’s 10 software titles. Got a valid .edu email address? Head on over to the Microsoft shop and get your discount on.

    Hahahahaha. My school has offered this but cheaper. We sells ours at $7 for it or we can get it for free on our schools website. We even have Windows Ultimate OS for free. I laughed at this. : ).

    @Joe

    Oh no, something came up that you (and a lot of others) already knew about … Say it ain’t so! If you don’t like the info, move on … no need to go after the writer for it. There are surely people out there who didn’t know about it, and found it useful.

    For you, worst case scenario, you wasted, what? Five minutes looking at the post to realize you didn’t need to read it? Take a chill pill, it’s just a news article.
