	Perhaps if everyone used illegal copies at home we'd all be able to get 
	the deal! Lol
	Seriously ... it is good to see Microsoft reacting to the impact of
	freeware and piracy.

	Sounds like a hoax only because Microsoft's track record of doing
	something so sensible is not great.
	
	95% of Uni students use an illegal copy of Office. Most of the $75 would 
	be pure profit for the company.
