I ordered the Microsoft 2007 program from ultimate steal on 9/12/08. I added a backup DVD to my order at the same time. I downloaded the software onto my laptop, it worked great. I have now waited 6 MONTHS for my backup DVD and still have not received it. I have contacted the company many times hoping to get this resolved and it is always the same thing "wait some more". I got a desktop computer for Christmas, I downloaded the free trial software thinking that would be plenty of time for them to follow through. I was wrong! I am heading into midterms with expired software and no way of putting the software I bought on my computer. It is a scam and I fell for it.

It's about time to upgrade, except that I haven't been able to find out how on how many machines you're allowed to install it. I've heard two, but I can't confirm it.

Though I'm a Mac admirer, I do recommend students become familiar with Windows and office, simply due to the market share. More often than not, graduating students will go into a corporation and will suddenly be in a Windows/Office environment. If I were still a student (god forbid), I would snap it up in a heartbeat. I already use it, however, because I have to support it. It's a big change from Office 2003 and previous versions, and people are having fits over it. It may have not been the smartest move by MS to make it default save to a format not backward compatible with previous versions (without the compatibility pack...) A great offer.

I was at uni at the time and, using a valid university email address, could have got a copy of ultimate for $75 AU (which is about $65 US). For some reason I passed it up. Not that it matters now, as I have a job with a company-provided laptop, but I probably should have gone for it for my home PC. This idea was trialled in Australia earlier this year.
