Wow.. MS Office products are ridiculously priced. How does including Outlook increase the price by $150.

Luckily, I can get all this for much cheaper through school. The pro version at school is $149... not the $499 MS wants.
But all I need is the student one anyway.

This will be the first MS product I actually buy... sad time we live in.

I've been using Open Office (which is free) for the past six months, and I'm pretty happy with it. - ReluctantCynic Aug 1, 12:07 2
- agreed. And in the situation where feature I liked from Office wasn't included, someone on the internet had created an add-on for it. - ty97 Aug 1, 12:17 1

- Having been subjeted to Lotus notes for the past 5 months, I'd take Outlook in a heartbeat. It beats Notes into the ground in virtually every area. -- nm - Subversive Aug 1, 11:10 1
