eXceem - For students only - Microsoft office

kevan321 · 15-04-08, 10:31 PM

Hey,

this isn't completely free so feel free to take it down if it shouldn't be here.

Microsoft have launched a site called 'the ultimate steal' which is offering microsoft office to students for £38.95 instead of however many hundreds of pounds it usually costs. Think it's there way of trying to stop illegal downloads as its for a reasonable price.

Microsoft presents The Ultimate Steal

It's only available for 14 more days.

All you need is to be a matriculated student and have a valid student email account.

Again, I apologize if this shouldn't be posted here.

cheers

I bought this at the start of term, it's a great bargain. You have the option to download it for that price or pay an extra £9 or so for a dvd backup (which I did). I can't understand why they are closing the offer though?

johnboyjj · 16-04-08, 12:04 AM

yeh i got it too. the new version of office is so different! but some really cool features on it.

I expect they'll offer it again come September for the new Academic Year....

Bazza · 16-04-08, 12:11 AM

Yea probably, but it would make sense to just keep the site running.

cd02 · 16-04-08, 05:43 AM

i'm sure it was only set up as a test, so prob closing it to see if they're better off for it or not and see if its worth carrying on with it..

Dan_Man · 16-04-08, 02:23 PM

really irritated about that. i need office, wouldnt be able to get it normally, and im in full time education, yet it wont accept my school email adress because its ".sch.je" not bloody ".ac.je"

bloody microsoft, get your facts right before you go and release promos like that.
and i cant contact my school it bloke, because its the damn easter holidays

TheItis · 16-04-08, 02:32 PM

By "you must have at least 15 hours of scheduled contact time for your course" does that mean your lectures need to cover at least 15 hours in the week?

daftks · 16-04-08, 02:59 PM

i'm guessing this is only for Windows...? -.-

GREEN_1867 · 16-04-08, 05:36 PM

Handy now that all the assignments are starting to be due in!

Don't most courses have at least 15 hrs? I doubt they'd ever check that. Don't know how they could.

When they say students I think they mean University Students who would be using Word etc most of the time. They would bother with College/Secondary School people, because they will probably living under the roofs if their parents who would provide the necessasry softwares.

Just a thought

My course just about stretches 16 hours (and 9 of 'em on a Monday - 9am-12pm, 1pm-7pm!!)

Anyway the reason I asked was that I have an ac.uk email address, and Office 2007 so I don't need to do the offer but I was gonna let the person who needed it most use my address (and the most needy seems to be Dan_Man).

Anyone see a potential problem with doing this?
