Microsoft India Offering Office 2010 At Rs 1,000 A PC

September 8th, 2010 by Manan

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.

haha! Maybe. I said “1000 a PC” which is technically correct.

i may be asking too much but i guess for students it should be Rs 1500

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.

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.
