Today Microsoft kicked off their Ultimate Steal Promotion for students at the largest US Black Colleges and Hispanic student organizations at universities across the country. Students in these select groups can download the complete Ultimate 2007 Office Suite for a small fee of $59.95 which is roughly a 91% discount on the normal price of the top selling Microsoft software package.
Microsoft is proud of the benefits students achieve by using their office suite for higher education purposes. Students use the software for organizing their work load, making presentations, and managing class projects. Microsoft also feels the exposure to their common business tools will give students a step-up when applying for business careers after graduation.

Re: Ultimate Steal Promotion Gives Away Microsoft Software Sounds like a really good deal although I am not sure why they limit to certain groups. Seems like discrimination.

Re: Ultimate Steal Promotion Gives Away Microsoft Software I know as a student you can already get really good discounts on Microsoft software. So increasing the discount for certain groups isn't such a large benefit.

Re: Ultimate Steal Promotion Gives Away Microsoft Software I could have done with this when I was at university.I don't hold it against these guys though, it can be tough financially getting through uni.

Re: Ultimate Steal Promotion Gives Away Microsoft Software This promotion is not just for people of color or ethnic colleges. I am attending the University of Phoenix Online and received this wonderful offer. When I bought my computer, it had that free office software and it sucked. File conversions weren't possible etc. When I enrolled in college I was told I could download MS Office for $60.00. WOW, what an ultimate steal!!!
