Student Response
“Students responded overwhelmingly to The Ultimate Steal last year, telling us
that they need Microsoft Office for their studies and want more flexible ways to
get the latest version,” said Naman Khan, worldwide public sector strategy
manager for Microsoft Office. “This offer provides students with an accessible
and convenient means to acquire technology at a great price to help them reach
their academic goals. The Ultimate Steal is the latest offer in a long history of
compelling academic offers from Microsoft to students, and we’re happy to extend
the program to several additional countries this year.”
Moses Adeyinka, a third-year student at The University of West England studying
business and HR management, said, “I purchased Office Ultimate 2007 last year
because I bought a new laptop and needed Microsoft Word to compose essays, write
my curriculum vitae to get a job placement, and complete other coursework. I saw
the student deal and jumped at the chance for the latest version of the software
at a really low price. If you think about it, the price is lower than a concert
ticket or eating out in a nice restaurant — definitely worth the buy.”
Amberly Metson, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in education at the University of
British Columbia, added: “This is really high quality software at a great price.
And it’s really easy to download The Ultimate Steal — I just had to enter my
.edu address, contact and billing information, and I was up and running in no
time.”
To be eligible for The Ultimate Steal, students must be enrolled in an academic
institution and carry at least a 0.5 course credit. Students can find program
details and see if they are eligible at http://www.TheUltimateSteal.com.
The program will be rolled out to several additional countries in the future,
including the Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Korea, Mexico,
Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and other countries yet to be announced.
