I was told about this last week, and figured I'd pass it along to anyone who still has a valid NCSU email address. The page is WRAP protected, so you need to be an active student, faculty, or staff to access it, though I'm betting any ncsu.edu email address (including alumni accounts) will work with the actual Microsoft registration/purchasing system.

http://www.ncsu.edu/software/download/hup/

On that page is the code you have to use in order to get it, but I'm not going to post it because I don't want to get into trouble for it. If you know someone who has an active account, though, it can't hurt to ask

Hmmm...I apologize if I gave wrong information. When I log in, I can see the link

http://hup.microsoft.com/

with a code next to it. I'm a Graduate student, but maybe it's because I'm also a TA?

sweet. I'm guessing both x86 and x64 are available through this?

the terms say you can install a primary copy then a copy on a portable device... so does that really means two installs?

let's give massive discounts to the faculty and staff
but force the poor students to purchase it for more money through the bookstore

genius !!!

anyone know how to "trust a document"?

it's on a network drive. I'd rather leave the protections in place and trust the documents on an individual basis.

google isn't helping.


ehh, maybe this is something different... each time I open a file on the network, I get the protected view...

This is an enterprise volume licensing benefit, nothing to do with being a university. Pretty much all state employees received an email like this today because of our volume licensing of Windows and Office. I'm sure education specific stuff will be fleshed out in due time. I last purchased Office from the "Ultimate Steal" when Office 2007 Ultimate was $60 for students (wife in vet school). I would have paid $100 for 2010 Pro without thinking twice, so $10 is unreal. This combine with the Office web apps launching just makes the upgrade a no-brainer.

Oh, and remember the is the MSDN Academic Alliance and Dreamspark programs that get students free stuff, beyond just Office, so no need to belittle Microsoft. Nice for them to throw employees of heavily paying customers some nice benefits too!

outlook 2010 crashed my system multiple times.

ive somehow gotten it to a point where it only crashes outlook when certain things happen, but have yet to find root cause.

basically, go with office 2007 until they clean this shit up with a service pack... or give it a shot and maybe you wont have the same problems i did

pretty sure you have to have premium - they changed a lot of benefits around this past year

what new features in 2010 are you guys really liking/are really useful?
there's probably websites with all this, but I figured we could a easy to read list.

I haven't done much other than excel and by far my favorite feature are the paste special options in the right-click menus. it's so much faster now because I use paste special + values and formats all the time.

menu key + down + down + right + enter. love it that I don't need a mouse now.
