I always buy new software from:

Otherwise Ebay but make sure that it has a usuable licence on it. :)
Do they send the disk through the post or got to download it?
Download, but you can ask to have a disk sent to you for about £3 or something tiny. Also, it's Micosoft Office 2010 now :) It's a bit better than 2007 too :)Quote:

I haven't got microsoft, 2010 so Gomme will have to answer that one. If you get a disk with a licence that allows more than one user - yes. Otherwise, no.Quote:

It was a while ago I last used 2007, and I haven't used PowerPoint 2010 yet :PQuote:

Either way, you'd be given 2010 rather than 2007, unless they're still somehow selling it :)
You can download for immediate use but I wait for the disc. It comes pretty quickly.Quote:

What do you think? Also as Ryan said do you need proof your a student?
On that site it seems to require you to give the name of your school, college or university. So i'm thinking yes. It looks considerably cheap to be honest I might get mine from their too.Quote:

Got my copy of windows 7 from there, all good.
Those are very good prices, I would go with it and get the 2010 version.
To prove you are a student:
Type in a local school, put in any name.
They don't appear to check.

This is what it says:
