Hey Peeps!

My trial for Office on my MacBook is nearly over and i am wanting to purchase it properly but im not too sure what one is best!
I've looked on Apple store and there is the standard version with the full suite and the student and teacher version also with the full suite but with a £200 price difference!
Does anyone know what the difference other then the price is???

Please help me! :)

The sole diff is jus the PRICE.
 
I bought my Office:Mac Student Edition in a Apple store and was never asked for any proof.

You can do the same for the Online Store.
All though I have heard stories of them calling and verifying.

The other difference is the licence. The student version is allowed to be used on up to three computers. One user must be a student or teacher, and the other two users can be family members.

Yea, but who's counting :D
 
It may be worth downloading Open Office until the UB version comes out next year.

I use MS office a lot and it runs like a dog on my Macbook, but i need Excel (company written add-on):mad:

Just my opinion

One more difference is that you can't upgrade the Student edition - if a UB comes out, you'll have to buy it again.

dang!!! they made it a pretty aqua app, not just OOo OSX that doesn't need X11. sweetness. man, once that becomes stable and they switch all the linux-ish icons to aqua-ish icons, i am switching to intel no matter what m$ is doing:)
