From: "Frank Haber" 

Remember, we're talking a unit price per desktop of only roughly $55 for
faculty (permanent), and $25 (student, fugitive, trojan-monitored), for
**full Office Pro and XP Pro***.  Cheepcheep.  I went to the MS calculator
and entered a mythical school of 300 faculty and 900 students (classy
faculty-student ratio, eh?).  The perpetual license for students, again
presumably trojan-monitored, can be purchased for those who leave school
early.  There's some fuzzy way to purchase perpetual licenses for those who
get their mortarboards, but I couldn't find pricing (more).  Students can
also perpetually indenture^H^H license themselves by throwing dollars at
some hard-to-find Microsoft extortioni^H^H representative, providing their
school has done something obscure and prayed to Redmond on Thursdays in the
Gibbous moon, and offered proof of same.

They should make this exemplar #1 in Contract Law case law classes.  Sheesh.
