Default Uni Students - Get MS Office 2007 Ultimate for $75 (NOT SPAM!)

Thought I'd give you all a heads up.

Get Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for $75 from Microsoft. All you need is a uni email address.

http://www.itsnotcheating.com.au/

This is legit...run by Microsoft. If you or a friend has a uni email address, I reccommend you take MS up on this offer!! This normally retails for $1000!

Some threads on this deal for more info:

Awesome stuff, thanks for the info. Woohoo I have a uni address with Monash Uni and I am also working.
Studying at home so I can maybe get a better job rather than just being a 'car detailer' till I am crippled.

True but have you seen the costs of textbooks these days? Add that to fees just for being enrolled and then materials, then add in most students don't earn much it can be expensive to pay full price. I don't even go to uni and it's expensive just because its tertiary study!

No worries guys...just had to let people know about it...too good a chance to pass up...

I reckon this is the first time ever I will actually be paying for an MS product and be running a legit version! :

Also running free Vista Ultimate and Live Onecare (gotta love beta testing!) which are both legit...what is the world coming to...

Anyone notice the "its not cheating" line number 5 on the site?

IT'S NOT CHEATING IF: YOU DON'T GET CAUGHT

Sounds like someone at Microsoft dind't really think that one through!

I'm pretty sure my work gets a similar deal via Microsoft re : Office and Vista (not 100% on vista). Years ago I could have had XP for $49.95 if I remember correctly. Basically we'd go on works site license. All we had to do is buy and use our work email address gov.au.

If you want a hard copy on CD, download it and burn it onto CD, not that hard.

which you'd easily be able to afford

Even though I'm taking a year off uni, I know exactly how hard it can be financially for a uni student. I struggled to make ends meet in the last couple of years, so much so that I am taking a year off to work, to earn money, and make it easier for myself next year. Uni certainly isn't cheap, plus when you are there for 5 days a week, it doesn't give you much chance to work. The fact is, students want to work to earn a living, but you need to be properly trained to do a lot of jobs (for example I'm studying to be an electrical engineer... You can't just go and get an apprenticeship to do that sort of work). So I think it's a great idea that students get a discount

When you go to the site it brings up a list of all the different Uni's allowed and I do have a feeling I saw Tafe (could be wrong though).
