Students Offered Huge Office Discount

August 22, 2008 | by Christopher Nickson

Microsoft is slashing its Office 2007 Ultimate price from $679 to $59.95 for college students, as well as more offers.

Microsoft wants college students to use its software. Badly. So much so that it’s offering college students a massive discount on its Office 2007 Ultimate package, slashing the price for $679 to a much more reasonable $59.95 in a deal called The Ultimate Steal.

What do they get for that? Office Ultimate contains the full versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher and OneNote as well as the InfoPath tool Groove collaboration software.

To qualify, students must have an e-mail address at an institution with a suffix ending in .edu, or be enrolled and taking at least an 0.5 credit course. Coming next month, students will also be able to get large discounts on Office Visio Pack 2007, Office Language Pack 2007, and Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade.
