Microsoft Office 07 Student Discount - The Ultimate Steal

So Microsoft has extended it's deal to slash prices on its Office Ultimate 07 package for college students. As long as you have a valid school-issued email address you pay only $59.95 for a package that retails at a $519.99 on Amazon.

The Office suite is hands-down the best there is but you can argue that some of the programs included in Ultimate are unnecessary for most users and that there are free alternatives like OpenOffice that does a decent job at mimicking the basic features of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Let's not forget Mozilla Thunderbird vs. Outlook. I explored this more in depth in an article on JoblessNCollege.com.

Let's hear it, is The Ultimate Steal worth paying for?
