    Office home and student

    [rant] I downloaded the trial version of office home and student 2007 and personally i think it's a very good app, seems to have improved a great deal recently. But the trial has run out so i need a proper version. What i object to is the fact that microsoft feel the need to charge 184 euros (just under £125) for an online license (as part of the conversion process from a trial version) whereas i can order a copy from amazon for under £90 seems ridiculous to me. This is quite annoying because i need office now for uni work, so the online conversion would have been handy but i'll have to wait a few days for a retail copy, ho-hum. [/rant]

    sorry needed to get that off my chest

    Why dont you just sign up for another trial, I've done it and I've got a couple of keys so you should get another 60 days.

    You're right, it does seem a little bit bizarre.

    I like the licence on the Home & Student version though as it allows my parents to use it on their PC without me having to worry about buying more licences or trials expiring at the wrong moment (very frustrating as I recall!)
    I see, said the blind man to his deaf wife as he stuck his wooden leg out of the door to feel if it was raining.

    Have a word with your tutor at uni. You might be entitled to a free copy of Office
