[Offtopic] MS Office $75 for uni students

[Charles Clarke]

Smells very like a scam to me.  Has anyone verified this... apart from
the claims on the site quoted?
Cheers

Subject: [Offtopic] MS Office $75 for uni students

Hi all,

Microsoft is promoting their Office 2007 'Ultimate' to Uni students.

At the Microsoft website <http://www.itsnotcheating.com.au/> Ausssie
University students can buy a lifetime licence for $75, or a one-year
licence can be bought for $25.

The licences allow you to install the software on a single computer.

The package offers Access, Publisher, Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint
and OneNote.

Students looking to take up Microsoft's offer - which ends on May 28 -
must enter their university email address for validation. 

When asked why the discount was not being offered to TAFE or High and
Primary school students, a Microsoft spokeswoman said: "Microsoft has
targeted universities in the roll out of this three month pilot program.
If the program is successful, we will look at extending the offer to
TAFE
students as well as K-12."

Cheers all ..
