This month, Microsoft announced their Office 2010 Technology Guarantee, which says that if you purchase and activate Office 2007 between now and the end of September, you’ll get a free upgrade to Office 2010 when it is released.

The good news for students is that same guarantee applies to purchasing Office today via The Ultimate Steal offer for only £38.95

Personally, I’ve been happily using the Office 2010 Beta for a few months, so if you’re looking to install Office on your own computer, you may want to give that a try. Performance and stability wise, it feels like a finished product.

If you want a bit more information about Office 2010, you may want to check out my previous post for a free “First Look” ebook.
