How to Get Microsoft Office at 91 Percent Off

By Damon Darlin
J.D. Biersdorfer, who dispenses advice to Times readers on everything electronic, passed on this tip for anyone who is thinking about buying Office Ultimate, the tricked-out version that costs $680.

The semester may be ending, but that doesn’t mean the educational discounts have dried up for the summer — yet. Actively enrolled college students with .edu e-mail addresses (and carrying at least a 0.5-credit course load) have one more day to snag a copy of Microsoft Office Ultimate for a mere $60 at The Ultimate Steal. The 91-percent-off deal ends May 16th at 11:59 p.m., and Microsoft has full details for the offer at Microsoft – The Ultimate Steal Promotion.

Here is the really cool part, and I got this straight from the Microsoft senior vice president selling the software, Chris Capossela: anyone with a .edu address can get this deal. Most college alumni offices give their graduates .edu addresses.

I sent this to my cousin who is currently enrolled at college and the deal worked for her. I am scared to do it myself in case i get busted for not being a current student. If any of you are in school or have children in school this is a GREAT DEAL. Being a computer nerd, i am jealous. I want this software SO BAD!




*Note this offer expires on the 16th of May - someone may want to move this to the HOT thread. I wasn't sure where to put it.

I purchased it and I love it! I purchased the disc too and it was under $80. Since I have 2003, I can sell it online and actually sell for over the purchase price of 2007. It's really a great deal. You can even sign up for an affiliate and send it to your friends...
