I don’t know what this says about Microsoft’s sales of Office 2007, but the company is extending a promotion of its Ultimate Edition, rightly called the Ultimate Steal. Students and staff of academic institutions—at least in the US and UK, and I imagine elsewhere—are elligible for a single copy of the program each (downloadable, with optional DVD) at the hard to believe price of $60!
I stress that this is not the academic version of the software, but the full blown professional package, including Word / Excel / Powerpoint / Outlook / Onenote / Access / Infopath / Groove / Publisher and Accounting Express, with no limitations of use whatsoever mentioned in the terms and conditions. Now I now why I witheld the CRIMP in me for so long and avoided registering OnNote.
Go here for affiliation with a UK academic institution:

Go here for affiliation with a US academic institution:

The offer is probably valid in other countries as well, but you might need to experiment a bit with the two-letter country code in the address above to find out.
