I live in Florida, which is NOT on the list at that site. This is a full retail Office 2007 Ultimate, 2-computer license (1 desktop, 1 laptop), for $59.95. As for Vista, that site has Vista Business, not Ultimate. Business lacks all the Multimedia/Media Center portions of Vista. Yes, there are a lot of different deals and places to do it through. A better starting point than the one I use and posted, is: http://www.microsoft.com/education/eligible.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/Education/USAcademicPricing.mspx Shop around for varying deals, but do NOT fall for "you gotta buy by midnight". If your school has subscribed to the MSDN Academic Alliance, then you can copy certain products for free, if you promise to erase them when you graduate.
