If you’re a college student, and looking for obligatory software to buy, then Microsoft Office will almost certainly be one of those items, unless you’re choosing a non-legal, or open-source route. Starting from today, Microsoft will be selling the “Ultimate” version of their Office compilation for only $60, which is quite a price drop considering that it used to cost $680.
This deal will last until April, and will be available in the US, Canada, UK, France, Italy and Spain. So if you happen to live in any of those countries, then go visit a retailer next week, and you might be in for a surprise.
