Get 91% Off Microsoft Office Ultimate

[Dashken]

What the... Someone please get a copy for me!

A Microsoft student promotion that slashes 91% off a copy of Office Ultimate applies to anyone with a .edu email address—and most universities offer .edu addresses to their alumni for free. Microsoft Office Ultimate, which retails for $680, is available to students for only $60 until May 16th. But if you can snag a .edu address, you too can cash in on the deal—all you have to do is get yourself an alumni email address at your alma mater. The promotion's web site says you have to prove you're enrolled in coursework, but the New York Times reports that a senior VP at Microsoft confirmed all you need is an .edu email address. Let us know if you snag the deal and how it goes in the comments.

Edit: Goodness gracious me!! That's for colleges in U.S.A only!!

Actually once you graduate, the university automatically converts your .edu email to a .com email.

Thats how it is here usually.
