[Offtopic] MS Office $75 for uni students

[Reid, Cam C]

MS Office Professional is already available for all Government School Studen=
ts for $83.60. This has been the case for quite a while through the Microsof=
t agreement for Vic. Orders can be made through Ipex.

Perhaps if everyone used illegal copies at home we'd all be able to get
the deal! Lol 
Seriously ... it is good to see Microsoft reacting to the impact of
freeware and piracy.

Cheers

Sounds like a hoax only because Microsoft's track record of doing
something so sensible is not great.

95% of Uni students use an illegal copy of Office. Most of the $75 would
be pure profit for the company.
