MS Office way cheap

By | October 1, 2007

This might be something that could be useful to some of the readers here.  But you have to be a bit forward-thinking.  Microsoft is offering their Ultimate Office collection (which has pretty much every ZA102144711033Office program) for $60, but only for students.  The problem is, or rather the reason that some students that I know would just overlook such an offer is, that they already have MS Office for free, as part of their school network fee.  But if you’re a senior and you think you might want to have Office after you graduate, this is the best deal you’ll ever see (apart from that spam in your inbox).  It’s totally legitimate, may take a few days before you get the license key, and does not give you a physical disk (download only).  But if you qualify, I recommend it.  To qualify:

  • You have to be a student at an educational institution.  It says you must be taking 0.5 units or more.
  • You must have an ‘educational’ email address, in the US that means one with an ‘.edu’ suffix.

    Or, use OpenOffice, which has good Greek and Hebrew support, plus .doc and .pdf, and is free:

    There are versions for Windows, OS X, Linux, etc. Also, it uses a public document format so it interoperates with lots of other software, and you’re not locked in to subscribing to Microsoft products for the rest of your life.
