I got the $70-$90 deal for my son for Microsoft Office Ultimate for about $80 in 2008. It’s on his older MacBook Pro. He current MacBook Pro just has Oracle Open Office (freeware) and he just uses that. I have Oracle Open Office on all of my systems and it gets the job done for us. Daughter also uses Oracle Open Office.

Microsoft Ultimate Office does have a very nice application for students: OneNote. It’s pretty good for professional use too. It can be purchased on its own too.

I think that you would be better off with the Home and Student version if you don’t need the added bells and whistles in Ultimate.
