There are too little software discounts these days and when they are up for grabs the general user interest should go up a notch or two. But when we're talking about office suites that “suffered” a 92% price cut, now this should stir up the involvement a bit.

“A Complete Office Package at a Fair Price” reads the discount page for Ashampoo's Office 2008, and, as insane to believe as this may sound, the price is $4.99. The initial price tag for the suite says $59.99, but registered users can get the application at the above mentioned discount.

Ashampoo fans have already received the email on April 11, but for those of you who haven't registered, here's the offer, and it is as real as can be. The office package contains a word processor (Text Maker), spreadsheet tool (PlanMaker) and a presentation software (Presentations), which are the basics for an office application.

Some might blame the still present economic recession for this major rebate, but the truth is that Ashampoo comes every once in a while with huge discounts that bring prices under $10 for every piece of software in their fleet.

The top features of Ashampoo Office 2008 include spell checker for plenty of languages, thesaurus, multilingual dictionary and PDF export that lets you save the docs from all three applications in the suite in PDF format. But the amazing one is its portability, as it can be installed on a USB drive and run on any computer you hook it in.

As for compatibility with other document formats, there is no worry because, besides the proprietary types (TMD, PMD and PRD), Ashampoo Office 2008 supports Microsoft Word’s DOC, XLS, PPT and PPS as well as OpenOffice’s ODT.

As always with Ashampoo software, there is no mention about the expiration date of this offer and accessing older links works with no problems. Receiving all the discounts from the German software company does not require more effort on your part than creating a free account with them, which calls for a valid email address. Once you provide it all the details will be sent there including a link that gives you access to your account where you can set your own password.

So Ashampoo Office 2008 comes now with an amazing 92% discount and the suite includes the three most used office applications: word processor, spreadsheet and presentation creator. The entire suite runs perfectly from removable drives offering you portability.

with the open source office programs .. why would someone pay any money to get a program that provide as much or even less than the one you would get for free and more stable ... no wonder they are selling them for cheap because otherwise they will have to just throw it away

This is much faster in operation than open office! Its features are suprisingly comprehensive when you dig into the program. Works v well on a flash drive - presentation can use ppt templates so thats a real plus. A thumbs up and a total bargain!
