Any good places to buy software?

Do you know any college students? Most schools have software agreements. I was able to get Win 7 and the latest Office 4 cd set for $20 each 2 years ago.

I got a similar deal through school as well

Most companies have a deal like this too. If you have an email address with companies that have this setup, you go to microsoft's website, give it your work email addy and it emails you instructions. I've worked for about 4 companies that all had this deal with them. I think I paid $10 for Office?

Many times in the past when I bought new Macs, it had office preinstalled for a 30 day trial. After trial was up, you had to pay for the serial number key to enter to reactivate it.

I believe many of the cheaper computers are the same way

Technically, that license is not valid for a non-student.

Software prices are usually pretty fixed. Companies like Microsoft will not allow their products to be sold for less than a certain amount, so I find the best option is actually bidding for sealed retail packaging on eBay for reputable sellers.
