Hi folks, what's the cheapest (and legal!) way of obtaining the above package, don't really mind if its the full package or the basic Home and Student version, but has to be a download. I'm not a student so don't have an .ac email account so not sure if I can take up the Microsoft offer of a cheap student licence
If anyone knows if you can keep installing and reinstalling the trial version for free after 60 days of each use, I can live with this if need be as I can remotely store my saved work off my PC anyway.
Cheers

Hi Tony, ideally I would like the full package, my tablet PC does not have an disc drive (hence the download).
Have used OpenOffice before, which is Ok but having used Excel, Word at work so much, the changes in positions of buttons when using OpenOffice drives me mad after a while.
I've been looking at the price of an external CD drive this morning (£18.99 at Maplin) as I already have a Microsoft 2007 disc, but for the price quoted on the software4students link posted earlier in this thread, I may well go for the upgrade.0 -
the drive at maplins is an internal drive no good for a netbook this is what you need.
