Microsoft has always offered pretty good deals on their software for students as a way for them to encourage the use of their products, which the students will hopefully carry over into their jobs. That's why a lot of universities have MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) subscriptions for students, and that provides access to hundreds of Microsoft products free of charge. That includes Windows 7.

A lot of people have been anxiously waiting to see what kind of electronics deals stores were going to offer this year, and one of the most sought-after ads has finally been posted to the Internet. That's right, the Best Buy Black Friday 2008 ad is available (click here to compare it with Best Buy's Black Friday ad from 2007).

Microsoft has brought back the Office 2007 Ultimate for students at a geekilicous price. When you visit TheUltimateSteal.com students will be able to receive Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate for just $60. That's a whopping 91% off of the retail cost.

Last year we talked about a new product called ZoneAlarm ForceField who's goal is to protect users from the dangerous attacks on the web that could leave their computer vulnerable. It does this by creating a virtualized environment much like the free alternatives we've covered before: BufferZone, LivePC, and Sandboxie.

I don't know about you, but I've gotten some really tremendous deals on eBay before.

Today we're going to walk you through a 5 step process that can save you a lot of money in the end.

--WinRAR--

Over in our forum Max noticed that it was possible to get a free version of WinRAR compliments of PC Welt (the German edition of PC World Magazine). It's been nearly two years since a free version of WinRAR was being handed out, and it's coming back around once again. This time, however, you don't get the absolutely latest version of the app.

If you've bought anything from Amazon before, you know that many of the products they sell are eligible for "Free Super Saver Shipping." With the offer, if you spend at least $25 dollars on eligible products, you'll get free shipping. It's as simple as that.

Each day Amazon has a new Deal of the Day, but today's deal is an extra good deal if you're in the market for a new cell phone and you're already an AT&T subscriber or you plan to switch to them.

It's not often that I buy stuff in stores because I can normally find the same item for much less online. I do, however, find myself turning to Best Buy on the rare occasion that I can't fulfill my gadget addiction over the Internet.

Have you been hunting around for a great all-in-one solution for converting your DVD movies into a format that can be used on other devices, such as an iPod? FairUse Wizard 2.8 might be just what the doctor ordered, and lucky for you it's free for a limited time (normally $20).
