Thats a good deal...

Makes me wish I didn't already have all my systems upgraded to 2007 pro.

Definitely a good deal, if you like 2007 (personally I can't stand it)
I feel I should mention Open Office as well, free open source alternatives

I've got this loaded on my flash drive as a portable app, no install needed:
Linked to Sourceforge file download

I wish Adobe would do something like this, hehe.

You can get some pretty deep discounts for Adobe through the apple store if you are a student.

Also, I got Office 2008 for Mac for $20 through the Army software program.
You can get Office that way as well, just have to be an active duty soldier.

There's tons of good PDF alternatives. They don't always interface with specialty apps, but usually worth the little extra effort.

I've had good luck with 'PDF Factory' and 'Primo PDF'.

I was speaking more along the lines of Photoshop.

I've done that Microsoft Office for $20 too Tim, that's a great deal.

It's not photoshop, but an extremely well put together free open source alternative:

I've made the switch on my home machine, as you may suspect it's a deep rabbit hole learning a new photo editor, but it's well laid out.

I should also mention Faststone Image viewer is excellent for light photo work:

I love the Gimp
They have both PC and Mac versions, and switching from one to the other is seamless.
