Like many others, I am v. suspicious of microsoft.
However, there's a "return to studies" deal that I came across that others might be interested in. It is restricted to EAME.
I know we don't do commercials here, but I asked a mod, and s/he said post it.
In summary, it is full MS Office 07 for UKP 35. (£35). With a license!! In the UK, pc world would charge more than twice that.
I ordered a copy and it came in 3 days. It works, as does the license. You can use it on 2 p.c.s
To get it, you have to be either a student, or the guardian of a student. I imagine that most of the world is guarding a student.
URL - go look there if you are interested.
