Microsoft 2003 student teacher

I am interested in purchasing Microsoft Office 2003 Student/teacher for my
7th grader. I have found pricing to be all over the place. Of course I want
the best price I can get but I would also like my daughter to learn to do
what is morally correct. If the price is a couple of bucks more-so be it. I
just don't want to feed into this whole counterfeit sub culture. Your
products continue to amaze me. Many [email protected]

The best way for you to protect yourself is to purchase software from
a familiar, reputable reseller.

I have found the best software prices on Amazon.com. And they often run free
shipping for purchases over $25. I've purchased several things from Amazon
and am very pleased with their service.

Be careful with some of the on-line auction sites. I purchased some DVDs
at what seemed to be a fair price, only to find out they were copies.

I reported the incident and the seller was eventually banned, but I was
still out the money.

Check with your daughter's school. Many institutions provide
Student/Teacher software at a considerable discount.

STE is sold just about anywhere software is sold. I've found Amazon to have
the best price. Colleges and universities often have the academic version
for sale at a considerable cost savings. Those two products are two
different things. To purchase the academic version you must provide proof of
being a student, faculty, or employee of a qualified institution. STE is
pretty much on the honor system.
