The office pro 2007 is available for $179 full box, with 2010 free upgrade. www.costcaptain.com and www.academicsuperstore.com. Maybe they knew something you didn't. Also the Office 2007 Ultimate is available for $67 I think it was to students at certain schools. If you are a student, now is your time to get all of the Office stuff, and use 2010 when you are ready. The 2010 powerpoint does videos. By the way, there is other academic versions and pricing. Didn't you know? PChammer,

I suggested it at our local college in an Art history class since we needed to do work with powerpoint and word and a younger student actually got irrate saying no one will know how to use that open source crap and that he doesn't trust anything they GIVE away, of course me being older, they didn't listen to me, instead they went out of their way to pirate or drive all the way to college to use MS office. I bit my tongue for many reasons but unfortunately, this is the thinking from a lot of peole who don't know or understand that there are better, free alternatives. That said, MS admits pirating their software does not hurt them in the long run, it's cheaper than advertising and far more cost effective than putting out the software to make sure it's used on every desktop possible, which is likely the reason they want to make sure even pirates get security updates. So why not give licenses to colleges and high schools then? Or at least a very very low price? I think that even if they gave them free licenses, MS would still come out ahead in the long run, just as they claim with pirated software. Of course they will still fight pirated software, they have to but to charge students so much is robbery in itself.

There is seriously no need for a money tight student to spend $149 + tax on MS Office when OpenOffice is comparable and compatible. For students, there should only be one choice: OpenOffice.
