Thanks for that wake-up call. I was also tempted to buy it, although I already have a copy of S&T 2004. I figured I could sell the unopened copy for a few dollars and get the new version for basically free. I need at least 2 licenses though, so this wouldn't work.
Got a tip for us?

One of the MS employees posted in the comments on the blog entry on Mac Mojo detailing this sale that you'll have your choice of three S&T licenses of Office 2008 or one license for the Special Media Edition.
Discounts
Did ANYONE expect Apple to give any discount beyond an approximate 10%?
I mean really expect.
After Apple reduced the Education discounts to approximately 10% it is clear that they are tightening discounts. Notice that the Holiday discounts are a dollar or two (or three) off of Educational discounts. iLife is $68 today instead of $71 for education. A black MacBook is $1398 today versus the education $1399.
I'm off to Amazon.

For anyone else potentially worried about this:
I just looked at the mail-in PDF, and there are checkboxes where you can specify which of those you want to upgrade to.
Office for Mac
Yea, Amazon sells Office for Mac much cheaper than the Apple store. I will finally buy it.

What that is almost 5 percent, what do you want from Apple - reasonable prices!
By the way I agree a discount of 4.25 percent is not enough to cover taxes on the devices.

There isn't going to be a Student and Teacher version of Office 08. It will now be a Home and Student version, so you won't need to show a school ID to buy it.

Hmm... their online redemption page only allows you to order the Special Media Edition.
Is there a link to this "mail-in PDF" you're referring to?
Well.... most consumers interviewed say by now that Apple is greedy and stingy when it comes to sales events. Oh well...
I haven't seen anyone else pick up on this. Unless it means that the 5th Ave retail store closed for a few hours, or unless it means that it was the online store...
Gee... I really don't know what you're still doing with Firefox when you got Internet Explorer installed on your machine...

If you haven't done so already, you might want to think twice. I started to order at Amazon, then (at checkout) was told "this won't arrive until after December 25th". Problem with that - if you want the $100 rebate, your forms have to be postmarked by the 23rd...
The default store choice is that J&R Music and Computer world. That is the one I chose and my ship date is pretty quick
So yeah, don't choose the amazon store as your choice.

You must've ordered ahead of me. Before choosing Amazon, I had chosen J&R - but at checkout I was told "this is no longer available". So then I loaded it from Amazon, and was told "will arrive after December 25th".
i thought the same thing but someone corrected me and pointed out that you can choose between the academic version of 2008 or the special media edition of 2008. So for $32, you can get an academic version of Office 2008. Great deal.
The Tiger Direct option sold out while I was on the Amazon.con site tring to place the order. No big deal because they had an even better deal for $118 if you hunt. They put their "featured sellers" on top but just below them are the ones with lower prices. I was going for one at $115 but it sold out between the time it appeared on m screen before I could buy it. So I had to go for the one that cost $3 more.
Still not a bad deal $118 - $100 rebate + $4 to ship = $22.
I don't really even need Office but for $22 why not. Then I can upgrade to
2008 for a total cost of $29
Maybe I'll sell the unopened Office 2008 box on eBay

Is the $100 rebate on Office 2004 available in Canada?
Sorry if this question was asked already but I'm viewing this site on my phone and its hard to see every reply.

I think I saw that too, if you want it reasonably soon, you can't use the default free shipping. So it's like an extra $5.
