Hi, I was wondering if there is any way I can purchase the Office 2007 pack for $75.. I notice that our TAFE is not on tht list. Is there anyway I can purchase this item. I am a lecturer at the Karratha Campus of Pilbara TAFE.

As Claudio Cilia said here in Malta we had a similar offer for a bundle of Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 for only Lm48 (USD157 or AU$175) which was available to all Maltese student. Furthermore around four years ago we had another offer (this time utterly unbelievable) which was a bundle of Windows XP Pro. Ms .Net and Office 2003 Pro for just LM 10 (USD 32 or AU$ 37)! What’s more is that both these offers were highly publicized and thus almost every eligible student received them.

“They should include other countries in this offer.”

They are. After the success of the first run It’s Not Cheating, Microsoft is starting it up in the US (where it’s called something like “The Ultimate Steal”), the UK and a few other countries.

A friend showed me his Office 2007 Ultimate package and media and I was very surprised it came on DVD. Who would have thought back in 1994 when Office 4.2 came out that nearly 15 years later, Office would be shipped on DVDs? They might as well give it a kernel and turn it into an OS with the next release, LOL!

The Computer Science Student’s society at Melbourne Uni (MUCSA) was handing out free discs in a cardboard sleeve with the ‘it’s not cheating’ branding on it. You had to install it, then go to the website to pay for it. That might save you a few bucks/days on the postage. Also, MUCSA had a deal which allows it to sell dirt cheap (seriously, you could buy a sack of dirt for more) copies of XP and Vista to IT students. You might want to check if your uni will be offering that too.

Sweet, I was waiting for this. Tried to get in last time but apparently I left it too late – every time I tried to complete the order the page just timed out. I had hours left before the offer closed so I’m guessing their servers were getting hammered.
