I found a good price on Office '07 Pro

[Bent]

I’m not trying to endorse M.S. or this retailer; or start a debate for that matter. I’m just passing the info along. I needed to update and also add a couple of programs for the resident student, err…and me. I picked up Office ’07 Pro for under $120 from this place. It’s not listed but the package also included Accounting Express ’08. If you can use the info, great. If not...I tried.

FYI, that is for the educational version.

 

[Bent]

Jeff, I was of the understanding that it was still fully functioning/full featured. Please explain.

 

[ChiXJeff]

Look at the ad again. It states right at the top "Academic proof required" and that the general public is *NOT* eligible to purchase.

 

[HaleYes]

My Office came from eMule. Complete with a keystroke generator! :compwork:

If you are in the military, you can get the whole full program for $21

"Academic proof required"

Thre are a lot here who can fulfill that requirement.











$59.00!
:doh:

 

[ChiXJeff]

And that's fine. Don't lead on folks who aren't eligible for an academic discount.

I'm not going to tell you what a university student in Texas pays for MS products.

 

[mecompco]

Sign up for any class and you're a student. My school sells MS Vista Ultimate for $12.00 and the same for Office 2007 Ultimate. Fully functional.

Exactly like my Government copy. I paid less than $20 for Mac Office 2008. Which is a far cry from the $400 it normally costs. But that deal obviously isn't up for grabs to anyone with an email address...............:anon:

Ummm. No. *MOSTLY* compatible.

OO may have better version to version document compatibility than M$ Office, but it does not have any of the Visual* internal scripting tools. If you depend on scripting automation, OO is not a drop in replacement.

 

[ocean_jet]

True.

 

[GSequoia]

Ummm. No. *MOSTLY* compatible.

Just to stir the 'ol pot...


I'd venture to bet that those who would need the extra features that aren't compatible would already know so.

We use Office here just out of corporate stupidity, nobody in this office does anything more than OpenOffice.org would do but I'd never be allowed to change them over.

Back in the day at IUPUI, I could get XP Pro and Office XP for a grand total of $20.

When I bought my then new laptop, I uninstalled XP Home and reloaded XP Pro Did it to my wife's computer as well.

Fill that in a bit more, what do you need and what is the process. It's not thru the PX is it ?
