If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Huzzah!
Hopefully they'll make Professional available to students as well at a discounted price.

Hmmmm, I'm sure as a Newcastle alumni I actually possess an ac.uk email of some kind, despite never ever using it.
If that doesn't work I guess I'll sign up for flower arranging at the local college or similar.
buzz - forum types at bit tech seem to think the full offer at msn webbysite says pro is £30 too with this offer.

It'll probably work for horses too. Worth checking out.

As a side note, it appears you get a choice of either Home Premium or Professional.

Hot damn.
Top stuff, once I get back to uni and the email stuffs are sorted out (Portsmouth have closed their normal @port.ac.uk clients down and have turned to Gmail, one of the first uni's to do so, I just need to know my new address) I'll buy a copy of Professional then.

I could buy it, but it wouldn't remain legal after I officially leave the University in December. I have retail copies of Home and Pro already on order at ok prices.

Handily enough I work with a few types who do night classes and such, a few have tentatively agreed with moi to sell me a copy.
As to the legality of this, meh.
