I am thinking about purchasing the Microsoft Ultimate Office 2007 software through the ''Ultimate Steal Promotion'' for students ($59.95). The terms of the promotion are a bit confusing. I am not sure if I would be purchasing only a ''trial'' for a limited time or the actual software to keep for good. Any feedback on this would be much appreciated.
Microsoft ''Ultimate Steal'' Promotion Question?
See http://www.microsoft.com/education/ultim... for promotion terms. It is not a trial version, it is a full version of Office 2007 Ultimate Edition offered to qualifying students at a deeply discounted price. You get the software by downloading the free trial version of Office 2007 Ultimate Edition from the Microsoft website. You pay $59.95 for a product key that will convert the free trial to a perpetual license, which is yours to use forever subject to the terms of the Office 2007 Ultimate Edition Software License Terms. You can pay a few extra dollars to get a DVD containing the Office 2007 Ultimate Edition software (I recommend you get the DVD).

Microsoft ''Ultimate Steal'' Promotion Question?antivirus downloads
I recommend checking out OpenOffice.org, which is a completely free equivalent to Microsoft Office that's compatible with all the same file formats, and isn't missing half the apps like some MS Office packages. The only reason Microsoft normally charges hundreds of dollars for Office is because they still think they're the only game in town, which isn't true at all. Like the guy with the funny accent says: ''save your money''. :P
