Office 2010 Professional $79.95 Students only

I am waiting for my MSDNAA portal for my school to have Office 2010. Its not up yet and I am pissed lol. The beta has many bugs.
 
Nice link. But when you quit work for the qualifying company, your rights to use the software cease as well per the MS License Agreement
 
Isn't the student version the same? Meaning once you're not a student anymore, you can't use it anymore? Or is this one different (I didn't read the LA for this one)
 
Might be. But in reality, who follows it ? ? And can they find out if you still use it ? ?
I don't see how they could.

I have no idea about the credibility but here is a post from a user on SD concerning this deal:

Office 2007 student version was good for up to 3 computers (all in the same household).

2010 is the same.

EDIT:
Nevermind, this is the Pro/Academic version of Office, not Office Student. Also it appears there are 2 versions of Office Student. The download version is good for 1 person on 2 computers (ie you can install it on 2 computers but can't use both at the same time) or there is the Disk version (costs $30 more) and its good for 3 computers in one household like 2007 was.

isn't OpenOffice.org (aka Sun Microsystem's PC version of Office) still free to students?

It's open source and will always be free, but the compatibility still sucks with Microsoft Office. You essentially cannot rely on your documents looking the same in Office and vice-versa.

If all you do is type reports for paper submission and never share documents with Office users then OpenOffice works great.

I just got the Microsoft Office Professional Plus through my work ($9.95 and the email has the 25 character key) but I also ordered the backup media ($12.95). The backup dvd arrived in 2 days (email said 4 to 6 weeks). I installed and ran all copies on 2 PCs and a laptop via the microsoft DVD with no problems.
 
i have tried to get this, and my order never goes through, always says there was an error processing my order on the digitalriver site.

I checked the licensing agreement for Office 2010 Professional from the link on the ultimate steal site. It is not specifically for the student version.

This is what it says:
"a. One Copy per Device. You may install one copy of the software on one device. That device is the “licensed device.”

b. Licensed Device. You may only use one copy of the software on the licensed device at a time.

c. Portable Device.
You may install another copy of the software on a portable device for use
by the single primary user of the licensed device. "
 
is anyone able to complete the download for this?

EVERY time the download almost completes, it errors out.

i don't fucking get it. i've tried it with 3 different browsers, now.
