This week Microsoft has two groovy deals going to help Mac fans jump onto the Microsoft Office boat. If you want to score on Office 2011 for Mac Business edition for a bargain, upgrade pricing is the way to go. Of course, you can also use it to get the Home & Student edition, but who would want that? The Home version doesn’t even have Outlook! But nonetheless the Home & Student has a special sale price this coming weekend.
Upgrade Pricing
The upgrade strategy is a little tricky, be sure to read all of the fine print. However, if you do it right you can easily save at least $50 on the Business Edition of Office 2011 for Mac. The only bad part is that this is your last week to act on it, any purchases made after November 30 will not be eligible for the free upgrade.
