Microsoft Office Ultimate edition for USD 60 for students!

Software giant Microsoft has launched a new offer for students where they are selling their Office 2007 Ultimate edition for just USD 60.

This is a great deal for college students who want to use this office productivity suite without spending a fortune for it.

However, they do have the option to use one of the free or cheap alternatives.

Microsoft has named this offer ‘Ultimate Steal’ and it is applicable till April 30 next year.

It is open to students in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States along with France, Italy and Spain.

Microsoft states that the offer is applicable to students who are “actively enrolled” in a higher education program and have an e-mail address from that school.

Alan Yates, general manager of Worldwide Education at Microsoft added in a statement: “We’re listening to students who have told us they need Microsoft Office for their studies and want more flexible ways to get the latest version. The Ultimate Steal is the latest in a long history of providing compelling academic offers for students.”

Incidentally Apple’s iWork ‘08 costs USD 79 in the retail market.
