Thanks OP.

Deal has been around for quite awhile actually. Posted here or maybe over at SD before.

FYI, you might be able to get in on this deal even if college is long behind you. Some colleges offer their alumni a free .edu email address. Both my undergrad school (Bucknell) and medical school (Duke) offer this. I was able to get this software deal using one of those alumni addresses, even though the full domain name was something like xxx@dukemed.alumni.edu.

If you do a search, you will see this deal posted, locked, archived, etc, many times here.

1. Wait for the office 2010 launch events where they give all a free copy. I've gotten my from 97 to 2003 this way. Incredible that people are still paying for it . . . 2. Openoffice.org really! it's very good for most users on compatibility. 3. Zoho office online. Makes google office look like a joke. And, you can run it anywhere. 4. eBay etc for an old copy of office-runs fine, and most will never need or use the advanced features found in the later versions. Really now, how many of you truely do?

Question I have a .edu account. Do you get the a retail verison for $60 or do you get a student Labeled verison for $60?

Gotta agree with this sentiment. I have Office 2007 at the moment but find it does almost nothing critical for me that's better, stronger, or faster than I could have gotten with a much older version of any of the software. Office software long ago hit the wall of diminishing marginal returns, IMO. I happen to like the new ribbon interface, but I'm pretty convinced that it was done as much for its gee-whiz factor to induce people to buy something that looks cool as for its functionality.

That may be the case for Word, Excel, etc., but not Outlook. The 2003 version does not work properly under Vista or Win 7, so 2007 is the only option. Outlook is the only e-mail browser that integrates contacts and a calendar, and there are no decent open source alternatives that offer the same functionality.

Not that this is a bad deal but you can get the beta for office 2010 for free from MS right now and run it until next October (I think.. not sure about end date..)...
By that time the new version will probably launch and there will probably be similar student deals then on the new version.
Just a heads up.

I have a question which I am hoping somebody could answer:

My wife is a part-time teacher at the local community college with a valid .edu address. Is she eligible to buy this software from Microsoft? She isn't a student but teacher.
