Where can i get a cheap, perhaps student, copy of vista, which will contain Microsoft office too? Is it possible to find this for under £100?

thanks
 
For that price, I think you're out of luck. I may be mistaken, though.

Office 08 Home and Student ITSELF is around $150, or roughly £90.
 
Try this website
Also - if you buy an OS, you will only get a trial on Office.

Oh yeah, I've used the website I gave you above and it is completely legitimate. I bought Office for Mac and it arrived the next day.

It is a microsoft partner.
 
Are you a student in college?

You can get a valid copy of Vista and a COA in the mail from this place.

If you're in the UK use this site: http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-uk/default.aspx

US is here: http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx

It comes as a download that you burn to a DVD. For Vista Ultimate 65$ (40.45 pounds ) is worth it. There's an option for 64 and 32 bit versions. Also their Office 2007 download is just too irresistible not to get at that price.

Hope this helps!

Edit: I see that you are in fact from the UK. Use the site above and you will get vista for well under 100 pounds!
 
That's the website I was looking for!! 😛

If you're a college student you may get it even cheaper than that from your school; for example mine offers it for $25. You could ask.

Definitely check your college book store. Mine just tells everyone to go to that website 🙁

I have a friend who goes to case western in Cleveland. They get Office Pro 2003 for free 😡

Every computer I get I reinstall the operating system on. My Macbook Pro included. It gets rid of all of the junk that they put on it and I get to customize the install.
 
I got Vista for free. My college is registered with this:

http://www.e-academy.com/

and I get free copies of Vista, XP, Expression Studio, Visual Studio, Windows Server 2008, etc.

My course ends soon, I should finish downloading the rest of the software while I still can 🙂

But the OS doesn't actually come with the trial. The Laptop did because the manufacturer put the trial on it. It's totally different. Microsoft doesn't load trial software on Windows.
