Itsnotcheating australia has changed the setup again so now you get office 2010(office14) pro version for $99 BUT it is the acedemic version.
All well and good for the students it is aimed at but the idea of education is to go out…get a job…start a buisness etc.
So going from a full retail commercial use ultimate 2007 office to a acedemic use only whilst enrolled/emplyed as teacher etc is in my opinion both a backward step and a slap in the face PLUS it costs more.
Office 2010 in the rela world is actually cheaper than 2007 so why is this dearer…
Anywho, it is not all doom and gloom .
They ahve dropped the price of Windows 7 proffesional back to $49.95 for a 32 or 64 bit copy so thats good news.
Oh and as a side note if you were lucky enough to buy during the free upgrade period AND activate it then the free office 2010 upgrade is the commercial 2010 proffesional edition.
Have fun kids.
