Huh? I am paying about $8.00 per month for Office. Why is this so inexpensive?

Don't know. Some kind of deal they have with the New York Post store. They have all kinds of deals on stuff like this all the time. All I know is I bought it, and it's the whole office professional suite and I've had no problems with it. It's the web-based office, so the download takes only minutes. All the icons are in my start menu and they all work. I thought it was a steal of a deal.
