There's an easy way to buy Microsoft Office at a very good price. Microsoft offers special student pricing. Just sign up for a course at your local community college, any course, and you are officially a student. I got Microsoft Office for something like $ 150 that way. Many other software makers offer student pricing, too, and you can even buy specially priced bundles of software through schools.
I did that a couple of years ago for a whole bunch of Macromedia software. Got my student ID card by signing up for a weekend course.
It worked in Macromedia's favour because I ended up buying the commercial package (not nearly as ruinous as being caught using an academic package for commercial work).
