Better than $150 for the home and student version...or $500 for PRO... there are a few other programs available on the site as well. and it's legal too.

Enter your AKO email address and insert the following program code 0AB01F772D. Note: this program code is assigned to our organization for our sole use in accessing this site. You may not share this number with anyone outside the Army.

Very nice. I got it for cheaper though ;) ;)

except it was 2003. I hate 2007 based solely on the fact that they trick people into buying it.

Yea, got mine free through the Beta testing for M$

Its ok, but the old Office XP Pro was better.

Have two copies of Office Enterprise 2007 here at the house already.
Paid about $21 after S&H from the AKO link :) There are still some benefits to being retired and still working for the gubment.

i would get one but what the heck why pay while i use OpenOffice and had great exp with it, i use them both on my HP laptop and Desktop and uses NEO OFFICE for my wife's MAC laptop...

not unless someone gives me their copy for free

i would accept the with pleasure...

Dude this is Old News. This has been going on for over a year and a half. It's actually a damn good deal. I took advantage of it last year. You can buy as many copies as you need and still only pay the $2o each.

It's a Volume licensing thing though, correct? Or do you really get a retail box?

azianai · July 19th, 2008

yo halutzparilla, long time no see =)

Yeah i got the ultimate edition from their promo for students this past year, 2008 ultimate for 59.95 (download copy though). You had to use an edu acct. Personally i like 07 more than 2003, but thats just me.

Boy'nBlack · July 19th, 2008

Ok then...here's the crucial question: How IS this better than the free Open Office distro? I mean, at least OO does pdf's...two birds, one cup.

screwballl · July 19th, 2008

honestly, MSO-07 is only better if you buy into the Microsoft advertising hype, otherwise Open Office works perfectly for most people. MSO-07 is like Vista, it looks pretty but you can do all the same stuff on previous or free versions.
