MS Office Ultimate for 60 Bucks with Syracuse alumni email address

One of my favorite blogs I read is Lifehacker.com. A recent post (http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/full/~3/286314598/get-91-off-microsoft-office-ultimate) had this to say:

“A Microsoft student promotion that slashes 91% off a copy of Office Ultimate applies to anyone with a .edu email address—and most universities offer .edu addresses to their alumni for free. Microsoft Office Ultimate, which retails for $680, is available to students for only $60 until May 16th. But if you can snag a .edu address, you too can cash in on the deal—all you have to do is get yourself an alumni email address at your alma mater. The promotion’s web site says you have to prove you’re enrolled in coursework, but the New York Times reports that a senior VP at Microsoft confirmed all you need is an .edu email address. Let us know if you snag the deal and how it goes in the comments.”

I tried my SU alumni email, which ends alum.syracuse.edu - and it worked! I now have a $700 program for $60!
