It looks like Microsoft is giving students at Colleges to buy Office 2007 Ultimate for $59.99. It is normally $680 for the Full version, $540 for the upgrade.
Here is the link:

Wow, that is a great deal.
Except I probably still wouldn't pay it and keep using OpenOffice.

I use Openoffice, too, but this is a damn fine price for all this...
I'll bookmark this and think about it.

I too use Openoffice and I doubt I would use any additional features in Microsoft Office 2007 but I bookmarked it anyway.

While we're kinda on the subject of OO, why is the interface completely different on a Linux computer versus a Win machine?

I'm going to be getting a new comp soon, and was wondering how I could get Office 2007 cheap. Rock on.

Thanks this is very useful for me as I am an enrolled MIS student (getting cisco networking certificates on the side though). We use both Vista and office 07 a lot.

A lot of schools have the MSDN-AA that gives out free copies of Windows, Visual Studio, etc. However, they only give out a select few of the Office apps, and not Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook. If you want these and don't want to pirate, this is probably the best price you're going to get unless your school or academic department has a special arrangement.

I haven't either. Something smells fishy about this.

My school sells it for $30. Check your campus computer stores.

Bleh, great deal for those who can get this, but I go to a community college and we have no school email and our campus store sucks.
Nice!
Perfect timing too!
Mine sells one version (not Ultimate) for $75. If others are able to get in on this, I will probably give it a shot.
EDIT: Said 10 hours as of 3:00 AM (CST).
I hope it's nothing that goes out quickly, as I will be in class at that time, and still in class for a couple hours after!

I hate to say this, but there is definitely a difference between OO and Microsoft Office 2007. Really, it's a night and day difference between whether you prefer Office 97 or older and what Office is and should be. I find it fantastic and it really does increase productivity. I gave OO a lengthy test and it just can't compare or really compete with MS Office on the same level.

It looks like the site is now fully updated. I ordered and am downloading right now.

The website says you will have an option to order a physical copy during checkout, but I didn't see one to add to the order page. Will someone who has completed checkout let me know if it does offer this and how much?
Thanks

You know you can get it free if you go over to the Trial tab, or simply just click this direct link:
http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msoffice/pub/X12-30307/X12-30307.exe
It works just as well when you supply it with a serial. That I refuse to help you with. But your favorite search engine has no problem helping you.

I would also like to know.
Worked like a charm for me. Thanks OP. Probably the best deal I have got in on in quite a long time!

Two questions.
First, do you have the option to have it physically sent to you instead of downloading it?
Second, does it break the rules if I get one and use it for both my computer as well as my fiancee's?

Hi, I know this post might be removed, but I have a copy of this that I don't want. If someone is thinking about getting this, please consider taking it off my hands for the same price. I can priority mail it to you for free and will accept paypal or an equivalent in Wii or 360 games.

Thanks for reading.

How long has it taken people to get their keys? I ordered two hours ago and have yet to receive an email with my registration key.

does this allow you to burn to a disc and use it again and again it you have to reinstall?

They only send you one email receipt and the key is hidden in that email.
As far as a physical copy, the website says yes, you have the option to order, but there is no place to get one on the site. Given that the disk won't work without the key, you can just put the zip file on a cd and call that you "disk." You can write the key on the disk you make so you don't loose that either.

Yes...till they no longer support it and their new OS won't run it.

Yeah, I found it. It went to my junk mail. :bomb:

I got my email key almost immediately. Check your junk mail folder. I also requested a disc at the time of my order three days ago and just got a reply. They should send you a link where you can purchase the physical disc.
HERE IS THE LINK:
http://gc.digitalriver.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage&Env=BASE&Locale=en_US&SiteID=wmp_phy&id=ProductDetailsPage&productID=81594400
This disc costs an additional $12.95 and the license is NOT included, so you will still need your email with the key.
I still have a downloaded copy and unused product key for someone without a ".edu" address who wants this at cost.
Thanks.

so if you want the disc it's 72.95?
When they send the disc is it actually a MS Disc I wonder, or just some burnt POS in a carboard sleeve
