Hey hey heeey! Ahem.. Does anyone know of a cheaper method to acquire MS Office 2013? Kinda expensive going through MS website and the 365 subscription, going by reviews is dodgy at best. I know there are free alternatives, but the all the work im doing for school is though MS office 2013 and im not to keen on having to try and complete assessments at home on the likes of OpenOffice, only to find that everything is messed up once it gets to my tutors. Thank you.
You can usually get a discount if you are a student. Or if you work, depending on where you work and what kind of contract they have with Microsoft you may be eligible for their Home Use Program. I can get the new versions of Office for $10 through that program.
Not sure about the student discount. I just remember my sister getting it for cheaper when she was in school. For the Home Use Program go here. http://www.microsofthup.com/hupus/chooser.aspx?culture=en-US They will ask for your work e-mail address to see if your company participates.
