Microsoft Office Ultimate - 91% Off For Students

GottaBeMobile:
Microsoft is offering Office Ultimate to students for the unreal price of $59.95. All you need is to have a .edu email address and be registered for at least 0.5 credit hours in case MS decides to come asking for proof of your enrollment for whatever reason. Office Ultimate retails for $679, so this is a very significant savings.

The beauty of Office Ultimate is that it offers the complete Office suite of software allowing for integrating files between different programs. For example, a OneNote page can be turned into an Outlook appointment. Similarly, an Outlook email can be sent into OneNote for editing.
While I already have most of the Microsoft Office software included with this, it makes the price of buying a second computer (desktop?) a lot cheaper.

The problem is Microsoft products buttress their monopoly; there are better products (one that include a PDF tool) which are even less than 91% the cost of Microsoft: free!
