spectrex said:Yeah, you can install office 2007 twice, but no more than that. I own a copy, and as long as you're the same user, you can install it at most on 2 different computers. Just for additional information, this is different than windows, in which you can only install windows on one computer.

What about when you upgrade computers. Does MS allow you to convert the license to your new machine?

Hmm wow, eBay is going to be flooded. Poor bastard on eBay right now with a $275 high bid =)

eBay auction says it can be installed on 3 comps too

Northwestern?

Btw, great price. I'm going to pick up a copy before I graduate. Are we safe to still use it even after we graduate?

I don't know about other universities but university of Minnesota has an agreement with Microsoft that allows each student to purchase Office 2007 and Windows Vista for ~$4 (yes, four dollars). You will have to sign in using your student account (X500). The $4 are for a CD you come to pick up. If you just download it, it's free (or at least was last year).

yes msoffice and openoffice are two different things that do mostly the same thing but at very different prices. if openoffice does what you need to do then you have an opportunity for considerable savings vs. the other one. and openoffice is multi-platform and can be installed on multiple computers without additional cost. if you need the other one than you need the other one and that is a different story.

I have tried office 2007. Hooorriably slow on my notebook with T2080 CPU and 2G memory. I switched back to office 2003.

OpenOffice would work fine for 99% of MSOffice users. But 75% of MSOffice users are more into brand loyalty and common-sense and saving money.

Microsoft usually catches up to those guys and forces feebay to VERO the auction because they are breaking the licensing agreement by not verifying the buyer is a student. I know it happened to me a few months back

Huh? I run Office 2007 on my Fujitsu 1510D with 512mb of memory and a 1.8' 4200 RPM HD (essentially the IPOD video harddrive) and it runs fine!

For right now its a safe bet to have 2003 and 2007 on your computer for now.

If I can get this for my daughter who is in high school and using almost every one of these apps in a technoligy learning class, I would extremely excited!

Thanks OP for the post!

Can I continue to use it after graduation.


alert mods    

In for one.

I hope there's a way to get the media for it though. I'm thinking about wiping all of Acer's preinstalled apps on my new laptop and installing a fresh copy of Vista. Come to think of it, I need media for Vista...

So does it come in a retail box?


alert mods    

From the chart Office 2007 does not contain outlook? That doesn't make sense.


alert mods    

Did anybody receive the confirmation email on your Collage email address on how to buy it.

Do you expect MS to come and verify every individual who graduated?

Ultimate has Outlook in it.
