Am I Eligible? You must hold a valid email address at a U.S. educational institution ending in .edu (for example, leina@contoso.university.edu) AND
Be actively enrolled with at least 0.5 course load. Also, you must be able to provide proof of enrollment status (ie, student card) upon request by Microsoft. If you are unable to provide proof of enrollment, you will be required to pay the full retail price of Office Ultimate 2007 (approximate ERP $679USD).
I agree. If you have a University connection (student, faculty, or staff), check with your technology office to see if they have any Office deals. I got my MS Office 2007 for $10 through UMD.

Then again, I'm not even sure if it is worth $46 to upgrade from Office 2003. i would say it is definitely worth it. office 2007 is actually a really well-designed product. one of the things microsoft has really gotten right, in my opinion. significantly better, imo, than 2003 (and there is way more useful functionality than openoffice at this point). for $60 (or less) it is a great deal. note that this version (ultimate) includes OneNote, which is at the top of the class for notetaking apps, especially with respect to tablet pc integration. (Evernote is a great free and innovative notetaking/organization/bookmarking app, but it lacks the direct markup of documents that OneNote can do, which i really like when using my tablet for annotating and reviewing slides, articles, papers, etc.)
Hi, Just want know if you can get the actual MS Office 2007 Ultimate CD package. Is that the same as the retail version where they charge like over $600? Thanks alot.

The $59.95 is for a license key and download. I don't think you get the actual retail box. Would be really hot if you do since you could probably resell it for a lot more.

When I bought a few months back you could get the cd's for an extra 12 bucks or so. That's what I did so I could do re-installs if necessary. It took about three weeks to get the CD's though.

I'm not sure it's worth $1 to upgrade from Office97Pro. What's "ultimates" selling point ,, bigger ,, more bloated ,, slower ,, less secure and with more darn stuff than you'll ever use!
