Does that mean we can just buy the ultimate steal version of office 2007 for $64 and have office 2010 for free?

hmmm... i hope that's the case.
it'd really be a "steal" if we can upgrade to 2010 version for free.

any confirmation?

Wow sounds tempting!

They'll probably offer the Ultimate Steal for 2010 as well when it comes out.

http://www.office.com/techg is not working, weird.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

I wonder if Office Mac Home/Student will be included? I went to the website, office.com/techg ,but surprise, yet another MS system that's down.

And another part of the fine print - "LIMIT OF 25 PER PERSON"

I don't see why Ultimate Steal deal wouldn't work. It's sold directly from Microsoft after all and fine print doesn't say any other restrictions.

[kareshi]

When is Office 2010 coming out anyway?

[number8888]

BTW this deal was leaked early so it's not official yet. That's why the website doesn't work.

This "Charles Van Heusen" guy probably got his hands slapped by Microsoft

I guess we shouldn't buy the office 2007 ultimate steal just yet until we get more information...

[raskal]

or... buy the 2010 version of OpenOffice for free, and get the 2011 version for free as well!

(someone had to say it)
