Maybe this isn't such a great deal if you're a University student or faculty
member. According to a promo packet I recently received, you're eligible
to get "Academic Editions" at a discount. Through this program, Works costs
$129, or only $89.50 if you buy 10 copies. Again, quoting their literature,
the following is also available:
Microsoft Excel $189 ($132.30 for 10-pack)
Microsoft Word $120 ($60 for 10-pack)
Microsoft PowerPoint $149
These are supposed to be complete editions, with all manuals, updates and
warranties, but are for "academic use only". It says to call 800-227-4679
for purchasing info, but basically I think you just go to a local dealer
and present valid university ID.
DISCLAIMER: I haven't tried this and have no interest in Microsoft; they
just send me their junk mail :-)
