So... microsoft has decided to try and wow the students of Australian Universities into buying MS Office 2007 ultimate. To do this, they can purchase it for $75 from www.itsnotcheating.com.au All thats required is a credit card and a university student email address.
$25 if you want a 1 year licence instead of a permanent licence. Single install only - unlike academic pro versions (3x)
I guess it is somewhat impressive that thy are offering a 95% discount for 3 months or something, since Ultimate costs $1150 RRP.
The question is why? - maybe they are trying to use uni students as a form of mass advertising. I know from my personal experience with office 2007, that once people start using it, and get use to it, they won't go back. It is actually damn impressive and so much easier.
Free 60 day trial is available from the microsoft website or the uni's It department (well i know UQ's ITS dept has it)
Maybe its just a way to force universities to accept office 2007 and support it... either way I think it will work.
While I think the new office is actually hot shit, I will be honest. this blog post is mainly to enter their viral-like competition. I want to win either the scooter, HP laptop or the phone (since my samsung D500 died last week and they won't repair it).
Spread the word - and get me a new phone!!!!!!
