Help with finding something

I saw a post this AM where some company had advertised Word, excel, etc. in a download that normally was priced at about $200 but could be downloaded for about $40 or something like that. I was going to advise a friend who needs it but can't find where it was posted again. Anybody know where it is?

Probably but I'll let him check it out if he wishes. Who ever posted it said they downloaded it and it worked fine.

If budget is that much of a concern, I would highly recommend Libre Office. It's free, almost 100% compatible with Microsoft Office, and doesn't have all the bloatware that MS Office does.


And yes, heavily discounted software away from it's normal price doesn't fully pass a smell test, unless it's a student version or very limited compared to the full featured product.

I'd be really leery.

That was posted either yesterday or the day before. It referenced a website at Usoft. When I went there it didn't look relevant, so I asked the OP for confirmation but I didn't see a response. Maybe I just missed it. I'll try to find that thread again.
