Microsoft Office Ultimate Deal for Students
Sunday, September 14th, 2008Phil Gons over at Logos had this on their blog and I thought I would pass it along. Original post is here http://blog.logos.com/archives/2008/09/the_ultimate_steal.html
The Ultimate Steal
This doesn’t have much to do with Logos Bible Software, but it’s too good of a deal not to pass on to you.
Microsoft is again offering Office Ultimate 2007 for only $59.95! It retails at $679.95, so this is a savings of more than 91%.
Ultimate includes these 10 programs:
- Word 2007
- Excel 2007
- PowerPoint 2007
- Outlook 2007
- OneNote 2007
- Groove 2007
- Publisher 2007
- Access 2007
- InfoPath 2007
- Accounting Express 2008
That’s only $6 per program!
There are two stipulations for qualifying:
- You must have a .edu email address.
- “You must be a student at a U.S. educational institution and must be actively enrolled in at least 0.5 course credit and be able to provide proof of enrollment upon request.”
While there are a couple of good Office competitors out there, Office is still the standard and it integrates best with Logos (e.g., Bible reading schedules in Outlook, search results in Excel, and copying and pasting text with auto-citations into Word).
If you’re a student and don’t have Office, you should definitely give this a look.
Looks like starting September 8 you can also grab the upgrade to Vista Ultimate SP1 for only $64.95 (retails at $239.99).
