Might be worth including IBM Lotus Symphony in the same group as Open Office. It's based upon OO but IBM have created something with a nicer interface, which is often an obstacle people find going from Office to a free alternative.

If you're studying a computing course at university and your uni are part of MSDNAA you should be able to pick up a full copy of Windows 7 Professional for free through that scheme. This allows you to install the software and you keep the license even once you've finished university.

I bought Office 2007 via the Ultimate Steal promotion 2 years ago and it is worthwhile, however if you change computers getting the activation on the new computer can be a slight problem - I got a replacement laptop last year and had to do telephone activation. I had a bit of trouble explaining to the guy on the phone that I'd bought the software from Microsoft through the "ultimate steal" website.

Because Internet Explorer is not included in the European version of Windows 7 it is not an upgrade. It is a full version and you will have to do a clean install.

Yes it is, that's why there are Upgrade versions available.

Is it legal/morally right to buy Windows 7 and Office 2007 Ultimate through this deal and then sell it on for a profit?
