It's an obvious sales pitch.
I suspect a new version will be out soon and student discounts will be available for the new version

I suspect too many people were getting the full office for £30 as it's really easy to get the discount (only requirement is to have a kid in
school)
Either they're going to bring out a crippled version (like the works package) or increase the costs/make it harder to qualify for the
discount.
OpenOffice/LibreOffice is pretty much as good as office for what 99% of home users want to do - i.e. write the occasional letter.

It's the company in my link in 1st post, I got Windows7 Pro 64bit from them, for £38, about a year ago.
Should say that I already had 7 Home, and the licence for that was still active after upgrade, so I installed it on my Netbook

I bought from them a couple of weeks ago, quick service, deffo legit. Only problem was I bought the wrong thing. Thought I could upgrade from 32 bit
vista to 64 bit 7, turns out you can't!
So if anyone wants to buy an upgrade to 64 bit windows 7 professional, hasn't been activated, I'm selling for £30 posted.

No you can't! It lets you do a clean install, then when you enter the product key, it tells you that you can't do a clean install with
this upgrade edition!
