It’s still not cheating…

Yes, that’s right. Microsoft is STILL offering it’s Office 2007 ultimate for $75(AUD) to Uni, Tafe and some high school students.
The package includes:
Access 2007
- Outlook 2007
- Excel 2007
- PowerPoint 2007
- Groove 2007
- Publisher 2007
- InfoPath 2007
- Word 2007
- OneNote 2007
It’s not bad considering if it was anyone but you the cost would be in the hundreds.
All you have to do is have a valid .edu.au address which you can check here
BUT WHY? you might ask.
Well besides from cost, ease of use, interoperability with other applications, business grade software. there is…
Referencing!
I firmly believe in students taking the transition from 2000 / 2003 if for no other reason than referencing…
Everyone hates it, everyone has to do it. and with the confusion and problems faced when using third party software packages why waste the time?
Word 2007 offers specific capabilities for creating a bank of references that can be used at any given time. this ensures that your assignment will always be ready on time.

Recently upgraded from office 2000. Spot on about the referencing, makes assignments almost fun (I’m serious!!)
Take the advice and upgrade, well worth it.

Just confirming some questions I’ve been asked:
2)No, I’m not familiar with any plans to end this offer any time soon (It’s been running for a while now)
3)The license allows for 3 individual computers running it with the same key.
Hope this clears it up a little for you guys.
