    There is a new edition of Mac Office due soon hence the lower price on this. TBH, the old one will be fine and dandy for you so don't worry atall; go ahead and buy :)

    Hi

    I already have bought it some time ago from the Apple site for €109.95! However, for my next purchase it's good to know the this site is reliable.

    Thanks.

    Accord to http://www.software4students.ie/Microsoft_Office_for_Mac_2011-details.aspx
    ***Includes Outlook***

    I bought office '07 (download) for a windows laptop from that site last year and it was straightforward... good site.

    I just bought Office 2010 professional plus media for €64.95.(Arrived next day) I am not a student but you just have to say you are and list a school/college that is known. RRP for this product is €466 so great bargain - but - I am reliably informed that this 'loophole' will finish at end of this month, March 2012.

    Oh nicely spotted people.

    Tell me this - I have a dual booted mac. I currently have a buggy office 2008 for mac on it and planned to upgrade.

    Which is better - Office 2011 for Mac
    or Office 2010 on my Windows partition ?

    Try the demo of Office 2011 for Mac, it's pretty slick. Personally for something that you'd use as frequently as Word, I'd not want to have to be constantly rebooting.
