Less Expensive Office?

Got a bunch of Macs at your school that you load with Microsft’s Office set of apps? The word on the street is that come October, the next version of the suite will cost a few dollars less. For instance, look for single copies of the Home and Student version, which comes with Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Messenger for Mac, to cost $120 instead of $150. The academic version will go for $100.
