Look's like MS is going to be the WalMart for software.
Even some shoplifters might start buying Office and Vista when the price gets below $25

Thanks for that link. Ever ordered there? EDIT: Looks like Tekserve is walk-in service only??

Does student edition 2004 qualify for the upgrade mentioned in the post ?

Unless you need one of the special MSOffice editions, these deals are really not that impressive. Parallels has been cheaper at times, and the LightRoom discount means you have to throw 3-6 times as much moolah at another Adobe product.

Does anyone recall how many licenses there are in the MS Office Media Edition? It's just one, isn't it? Not three, like in the Student Edition?
