Plus if you're a student
there's always this, which I took advantage of last year. It's the full featured products too, there's no Word Lite or any such nonesense.

I'm not a student either.
When I was, however, in 1999, I got the student edition for about £20. I still use it, as does my girlfriend. I believe I was technically supposed to pay for it or give it back when I graduated, but bugger that.
