I’m about to purchase Microsoft Office Office 2010 Home & Student version for $115 at Amazon. It includes 3 installations.

I’m trying to figure out if I could get a better deal through student discount offers, but it’s unclear that I could. Checking around, I’ve seen deals for the Pro Office version for around $70-90, with what appears to be only one installation. Since we don’t need the extra programs that come with Pro (Outlook, Publisher, Access & maybe some others), this doesn’t seem to be a better deal for us. Also, we need at least 3 installations.

I have one child in college (he already has Office) and another in middle school. I’m wondering if the Amazon deal is the best value for us.
