Microsoft India Offering Office 2010 At Rs 1,000 A PC
In the US, Microsoft has brought back Family Pack which is three Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade licenses for as low as $149. Sometime back I had asked why Microsoft India doesn’t have something similar in India, the response was underwhelming. Anyhoo… today, Abhishek Baxi shared on twitter that Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student edition is now available at Rs. 2,999.
The Home and Student SKU is meant for as the name suggests but the licensing says that one copy can be used on up to three PCs. The Home and Student SKU consists of:
- Word 2010
- PowerPoint 2010
- Excel 2010
- OneNote 2010
Quite an attractive deal. Thanks for the tip Vasu.
this doesn’t mean licence for office 2010 is at 1000rs. Misleading title :(
haha! Maybe. I said “1000 a PC” which is technically correct.
hi manan
thx for the update
i may be asking too much but i guess for students it should be Rs 1500 :D
3k for three licenses, that is quite a bargain. If MS keeps its pricing its products at these sensible prices, it might take the fight to the pirated SW market.
I really agree with shaunak’s point.looking on new offer I feel better, definitely we can save some money.

My desktop came with Vista Business and I am desperately looking to upgrade to Win 7. I wish Microsoft provided a good upgrade deal for Vista users. I don’t really understand why they priced Win 7 so high in India, at these prices its not affordable for many people and will promote piracy.
