Microsoft's big gamble with free Office

It wasn't the least bit obvious from your previous post.  Your post neither explicitly stated or implied that you were talking about student pricing.  And, since most students would not be buying an Enterprise edition of Office, it's just not sensible to think we should assume you were talking about academic priced software.  I know that local college bookstores from several colleges do not sell an Enterprise version; the Professional version is what is normally sold by them.

Geez...

All he said is that it's not silly to pay for Office when it's ~100$.

I take ~100$ to mean approximately $100.  Unless you're qualified to buy at academic pricing, you'll have to pay much more, which would be the case for the majority of buyers.  That's my point.

let me rephrase....

in response to patio he said it's not silly to pay for office when it they can get it for ~100$.
