The semester may be ending, but that doesn’t mean the educational discounts have dried up for the summer — yet. Actively enrolled college students with .edu e-mail addresses (and carrying at least a 0.5-credit course load) have one more day to snag a copy of Microsoft Office Ultimate for a mere $60 at www.theultimatesteal.com. The 91-percent-off deal ends May 16th at 11:59 p.m., and Microsoft has full details for the offer at www.microsoft.com/education/ultimatesteal.mspx.
Here is the really cool part, and I got this straight from the Microsoft senior vice president selling the software, Chris Capossela: anyone with a .edu address can get this deal. Most college alumni offices give their graduates .edu addresses.

There is also an update note that says that MS makes you pay the full price if they find out that you are not enrolled anymore... sure if they got access to all university databases.
