Now we here at Idylum tend to support open source software, but in this crazed Corporate run world we live in, OpenOffice doesn’t always cut it. A few days ago, Microsoft released their newest version of their Office package. You can pick up their Home & Student version for $150.00 here. For those of you (in the U.S.) who aren’t going to drop 150 bones on what is essentially Microsoft’s version of EA’s Madden Franchise, you can get a 60 day, free trial key from Microsoft here. After the 60 day trial is up, Microsoft will nag at you to pay for a purchased registration key and shut down the software. That is unless you use a nifty little bit of software that can extend your trial by 30 days.

Try it out, let us know what you think of the update in the comments.
