No different. If you are student go and buy the student version. May be you should come to US to buy if you are not far from the border. It is 149 USD here.
 
lol, i am in the borderline but am not allowed to leave for 2 years since im a new immigrant.

but yeah, thnx...its weird tho that the student version is waaaaay lower. I mean its good! Do i have to show ID just to buy the student version? I mean, its really weird. Anyone can buy the student version if they want to save cash, ryt?

No ID required. Microsoft doesn't really care about the few thousand dollars they've lost on the MBU sales :cool:
 
i guess so, if i had a choice, i'd use iWork. But Im gonna be doing marketing as a college course and im sure theyre gonna make us use office. But yea, thanx for the help guys. Cheers! ;)

You may also consider using NeoOffice, is MS Compatible and is free :apple:

The Home and Student edition doesn't include Exchange support (which you only need if you're in a corporate environment that uses Exchange for your email/calendar -- if you don't know what Exchange is, you're probably not using it) and Automator support. The Home/Student edition comes with 3 licenses to use within your household, whereas the standard edition only includes one license.

Activate my office for mac?

Does anyone know what it costs if anything to activate the office for mav
 
I am using NeoOffice and I like it! My IMac isn't used so much for work, and the compatibility issues aren't key for me, however, I did create a few docs in NeoOffice and saved them as Office compatible, and it worked just fine.

Actually, the new Office 2008 that is coming out this month doesn't have a Student and Teacher version anymore. They've switched it to a Home and Student version, so now you wouldn't need student ID to buy the low-end version.
 
I have office 2004 .

I want to get Office 2008 . Should i get the upgrade to 2008 or the new student home version?

Quite a difference in price with the upgrade version $80 more.

Also if i got the new version as against the upgrade will my data transfer easily ?

Many thanks
