- Microsoft Office $60 for Students (repost)
If you have an email address ending in ".edu" you can buy Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for $60.
This is a legitimate promotion offered by Microsoft.
An ".edu" email address is required to prove you are affiliated with a college, because Microsoft Office Ultimate normally costs over $200.
The PC-Cillin software has better reviews than McAfee and Norton products.
These are great deals, however be aware that most antivirus/antispyware software include 1 year of service updates.
After the first year, an annual renewal is required to continue receiving antivirus/antispyware definitions.
If you are looking for simple & free protection for Windows, AVG Anti-Virus and Spybot Search & Destroy work well.
Newegg.com
- Nero DVD Burning Software for PC $35 after rebate
Nero Ultra version 8 for $55 after promo code EMCAJBFAC and a $20 mail-in rebate is available.
Nero usually sells for around $64.
Before buying, download and try the trial version of Nero 8 which can be converted to the licensed version by putting the purchased serial number into the software.
Some people love Nero (we do too), and some hate it.
Choose a "custom" install and only set up only the components you want, otherwise the software will be unnecessarily bloated.
