Anybody used the 'student' route to buy MS software ?

Yes, very good value and shows how much money MS is ripping ordinary
business or retail customers off with the charge what the market will

getting children and families hooked on MS products early means they
make more sales overall, as machines are upgraded etc.

All you need is a family member in fulltime education. IIRC the licence
you get allows the software to be loaded on up to three machines
simultaneously but as this is MS read the small print...

Yup, use it a lot. Two kifs in full time education and two parents
teaching....
