Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 Over 90% Off for College Students!

Microsoft is offering its Office Ultimate 2007 software suite to college students for $59.95, which is less than one-tenth of the regular retail of $679. Now that's what I call a price savings!

The suite contains Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook with Business Contact Manager, Accounting Express, Publisher, Access, InfoPath, Groove, and OneNote. It's got the most widely used tools for so many computer functions -- the deal makes me wish I were a college student!

To participate, the student must be enrolled in college and taking at least 0.5 credit hours currently, and must have an e-mail address with an .edu domain. Microsoft claims they will be checking up, and if anyone cannot verify their student status they will be charged the $679 retail price instead, so this is for legit students only. The offer ends April 30, 2008.

But if you are a student (or a parent who just sent your son or daughter off to college), this can boost your PC's productivity at a fraction of the regular cost.

Here's the link to the offer.

So, college students, have at it! And the lesson about saving money? Well, let that be an extra thing you learned this semester!
