Microsoft Home Use Program allows you to buy MS Office for a steal if you already use it at work. It appears, upon casual inspection, that it applies to fairly large corporations and you must have a valid work email address, but I can attest to the fact that it is real.
I just installed MS Office 2010 with:
[ul]
[li]Word[/li][li]Excel[/li][li]PowerPoint[/li][li]Outlook[/li][li]OneNote[/li][li]SharePoint[/li][li]Access [/li][li]InfoPoint[/li][li]Publisher[/li][/ul]
for the ridiculous price of $9.99
They appear to be full versions. For 10 bucks this is a a fantastic bargain.
Yeah, I got it through my workplace, which is a large non-profit hospital with associated medical school - so it’s not necessarily just the mega-companies that participate. They promote it about once a year via a broadcast E-mail, so it’s comparatively easy to miss.
Work sent us the link and I don’t remember if that’s the same one. I do remember that, like on that link, we needed a program code to participate.
Yep, and for an extra few bucks they’ll send you the programs on disc. I’ve got both the Mac version and Windows version. That’s about $1400 worth of software for $30.
