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.

Love this deal, got my offer 10 seconds after entering my school email.
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. : ).
Thanks for the info. Went ahead and purchased a copy, along with Visio 2007.
Sweet. Would snag this but got enterprise through my university for like 7 bucks w/ vista ultimate. Good deal though.
uuhhh .. this is not news .. Microsoft has been doing this for as long as I can remember … this is pretty standard ..
This has been out since 2 years…
Yea for Visio!
Zach: No love for mac users?
Very old new.
Microsoft has been adverting this online like its going out of style.
i picked up a copy last year.
Knock another $75 off that and it might be worth it.
This has been going on for a long time now. I got mine last fall when I started my freshman year.
Old news – but still a great deal.
I would get Vista Ultimate 64 Bit if the price were that low!!
IS THIS NEWS? SERIOUSLY? BGR COME ON. the ultimate steal has been available for at LEAST a year. this is terrible. zach epstein you should go back to school because this old news and you obviously need schooling in journalism
wheres back beat with his “witty” bull shit comments that make me want to blow my brains out. im sure he has some hot air to blow out his anus about this, i mean seriously, i cant look at a single post without seeing his nonsense everywhere.
@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.
Exactly, iBold. I didn’t know about this before now. Stop hitting refresh for updates, Joe.
