People who goto college or teach can get a discount on the software:


The educational package of Office XP will include the full version of Word 2002, Outlook 2002, Excel 2002 and PowerPoint 2002 for $149 and will go on sale Oct. 25. Microsoft said that puts the software at almost 70 percent off the regular Office XP Standard price. It will come in different packaging to help set it apart from commercial Office products.

Not interested in Office. I'm more interested in how cheaply I can find a legit copy of Windows XP.

College kids have bandwidth, why would they need a discount?

Bah, .edu bandwidth baby! And if that for some reason doesn't work, you always have the school library to borrow the programs and burn them from.

dont know

 

[glen]

Well heck..how can we find out?

 

[MWink]

I've spent less than $100 and got Windows ME, Windows 2000 Pro, Office XP Pro, and Visual Studio Pro. Win ME was the least ($10) and Visual Studio was the most ($25).

 

[SuperTool]

Star office 6.0 Beta is out today. Now... If they just got the Cyrillic support for it, I would purge my computer of MS office.

 

[Nemesis77]

Linux for everybody = 0$
Koffice, StarOffice, OpenOffice for everybody = 0$

Can't beat those prices !

 

[GTaudiophile]

Not a bad price. Too bad I need Access.

 

[kami]

I got Office XP Premium Corporate edition (no activation) for 39 cents.

I don't feel so bad when I see people here getting it for $5, that's robbery as well

I'm poor...can't afford the $4k+ of software my program requires...have to find other means. In fact I don't know one person in my class who paid for software

 

[kpxgq]

its $5 (actually every microsoft product is $5) for students at UT.

 

[MajesticMoose]

I got office xp and win2000 pro for $15. I think you can get visual studio for the same.
