Need Microsoft Office for FREE? [EDU]

[DavePlays]

Microsoft is offering Office 365 for FREE for students with a valid .edu email address. If you currently own a subscription, you may consider cancelling it and using the EDU version, saving some dough.

 

Note: this is a completely legal and supported way to get MS Office.

If you don't have a .edu address, OpenOffice is a great free alternative (it's also cross platform and open source).

 

I don''t know if there is a time limit for your license... I would assume it's for as long as you are in school and have a .edu address. And I think it works across multiple computers as long as you sign in with the same .edu address you signed up for the program with.

They really haven't done much more than bug fixes though, while libre office has been adding features.

To be fair, word 2000 does everything I need. 

Font, size, print, save & type.

This isn't or shouldn't be news. Your schools IT department should info about this when you start in school. Or they should info about any cganges, like additions. Since it's not only US/CA schools (.edu emails) and limits vary between schools.
