I did a very unusual thing today - I bought an actual real legal licenced copy of Office... We were in a shop (PC world, sorry I'll go and wash my mouth out now) and we saw this incredible offer: instead of £350 for Standard Edition with one licence, or £150 for the upgrade version, buy the same product for £80 with 3 licences because it's the educational version. There are NO DIFFERENCES except you get 3 licences instead of 1 and it's less than a quarter of the price. My dad works in a school, and happened to have his ID on him, but we weren't asked to prove that we were students or teachers or anything, so I think I'm going to have to go back next week with orders for some friends... So if anyone's interested, and fancies their chances, it might be worth giving this a look... for your money you get Excel, Word, Outlook and Powerpoint, but that's more than enough to be getting on with for most of us...
