Well not really stealing, but Microsoft is running a promo in which you can get Office 2007 Ultimate for $60 (SIXTY DOLLARS, but US $ I'm assuming - still barely over $60 CAD). This retails for $690, people.

All you have to do is be currently enrolled in post-secondary education and have a valid email address from said school. |

| You people that say 2007 sucks are masochists and obviously hate efficiency and a user friendly GUI. Oh, and the ability to make awesome looking documents with less effort than 2003. You must LOVE hunting through dropdown menus. |

many companies offer education discounts.
Office has been available for some time at a *highly* discounted rate, although this is certainly the lowest offer I've yet seen...nice!
Ableton is something like 50% off if you provide proof of your student status when ordering direct.
Apple.com and Apple.ca (and their stores) offer educational discounts as well.
For *any* software or hardware, I'd inquire about educational discounts and even professional affiliation discounts if you work for a major company of any kind. You'd be surprised at how many poorly advertised opportunities there are out there! |

I have a retail copy of Office 2003 which I got through work for $30. Although it would be nice to have a newer copy, I don't see the need of shelling out an extra $60.
But, this is a great offer, especially if you do not actually own a copy already.
Common support those hard working code monkeys that M$ enslaves. |

Gotcha. Have you no recourse against them for such an occurrence? |

Being a UW student, I get a load of free and discount software from Microshaft.
One of the fringe benefits, I suppose |
