Guest one Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I just bought mine a few months ago. I guess the price really jumped. It is $99 now. http://www.microsoft...uctID.229301900 Edited December 27, 2011 by one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Bought my copy of MS Office 2011 sometime in Aug/Sep from ACC for $9.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finance_Guy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I recall an email a few months back saying the Home Use Program (HUP) contract between MS and AF was ending on 30 Sep. That might be why the large price increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 If you have a .edu email you can get Office for $40. You can also get 6 months of free Amazon Prime, and then half off per year thereafter ($39/year) with a .edu address. I know it is a little late, but I have found that Amazon Prime really pays for itself around the holiday times. Since it is free 2-day shipping, I am also getting a bunch of little things for around the house from Amazon that I am too lazy to go to Walmart or Lowes and get. http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backseatdriver Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) I recall an email a few months back saying the Home Use Program (HUP) contract between MS and AF was ending on 30 Sep. That might be why the large price increase. I saw traffic to this effect as well, but just did the HUP in late Nov with no problems ($10). So I guess the ending contract was bad gouge. EDIT TO ADD: If you search for Microsoft HUP on the AF Portal, you can find a list of all the MAJCOM POCs. Shoot yours an e-mail from a .mil and they'll send you the code for your MAJCOM.

BigFreddie Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 To bad Microsoft is smart enough to keep track of purchases - you can only get one copy - either for Mac or PC but not both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest one Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Amazon prime is awesome if you are overseas and you need to buy a gift for your family in the states. I will forget about someone's birthday and order last minute. The present will be on their doorstep the next day wrapped. When you have Amazon Prime it only cost a couple extra dollars for one day shipping and it is guaranteed. Edited January 2, 2012 by one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stract Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 now that the AF standard desktop includes Adobe Pro, was wondering if anyone has heard of a HUP/EPP for this software? Would love to get my hands on a copy on the cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeHoler Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Buy a cheap hard drive and get the OEM copy of Win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 OEM copies are still not that cheap. Looks like you can get Windows 7 for around $80 on Amazon. Also note, and not a lot of people understand this, that Microsoft charges only for the product code, not the actual CD/DVD or the software itself. Matter of fact, you can download Windows 7 or 8 from Microsoft's website and make your own bootable DVD, you just need a valid product code to use it. In other words, you can use the same DVD on multiple computers, as long as they each have a unique product key to be legal. So, if you have an old Windows 7 or 8 computer (that you are not using anymore) with a good product key, you can just download the windows 7 DVD and use that product key. If it has been used before, then you will have to call Microsoft when you activate it, and they will ask you one and only one question - how many computers is this product installed on. It takes about 5 minutes. It's illegal to use a product key for Windows on more than one machine, but if you are no longer using that old computer with that old product code...... http://lifehacker.com/how-to-create-a-windows-8-installation-dvd-or-usb-drive-505769939 http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
