    Just wondering if anyone has used this website? Looking to buy office 2010 and the discount looks a bit too good to be true RRP €466.51 their price €59.95 :eek:

    Read some reviews, some good, some bad so not sure whether to go ahead and buy or not.

    I'd like to hear any experiences you guys have had with dealing with them

    Thanks!

    Its legit alrite, but you must be a student. I think they validate by way of college email address. Student software is much cheaper not only because of the discount but also that it cannot be used commercially. So a company couldn't just buy Office from that site and use it!

    thanks, the OH is a student and desperately needs it for projects. I upgraded the pc with a trial of 2010 a while ago but it's just expired so I need to get it sorted. Might give them a go so!

    You should be ok so, its a legit site and I remember when I was in college seeing it advertised left right and center! I think Adobe, Microsoft and all are partners with it!

    Ive bought from them. Only needed to input the college I was in for MS.
    Adobe needed my college email and id sent to them for the product key.
    They are over near the grand canal theatre.

    Yes legit! Same student prices apply for charities BTW :)

    I have a friend that's a student. Would it be a hassle for her to get me a copy of window 7?
    Does the activation come with the box?
