Subject: Re: OT: Microsoft crazy academic deal
Microsoft "academic pricing" is always in that range.
It is not always the same for different schools.
Where I teach, MICROS~1 wants $45 for Office or Vista, and $55 for visual
studio.
all year long.

That site only covers 6 states. 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.
