Just reading the latest edition of Windows Secrets newsletter (Brian Livingston & Fred Langa). They've been talking about methods of legally acquiring inexpensive versions of MS software. It looks as if Australian University students can get some great deals. Copy / paste here: More deals for Australian students Finally, Lyn Hancock writes in with another way for Australian students to get software through an academic discount. * "The most surprising deal that I have seen for university students is from Microsoft itself! Check out Microsoft's Unistudentoffer site as well as their It's Not Cheating site. The offer of a perpetual license for Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 is unbelievable! "Basically, if you have a valid Australian university e-mail address, you can purchase either a 12-month license for this bundle for AU$25 (about US$21) or a perpetual license for AU$75 (US$62). The only catch is that the offer is valid for only three months, which ends on May 28."
