    Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, ...) is far more useful than Microsoft Works. I don't know if it's available in the UK, but as a student, you may be eligible for the Ultimate Steal edition of Office ($60.00, or about £40-45, I think).

    Also, since the machine comes with Works, you might be eligible for the upgrade discount to Office (or is that your £90 deal already?)

    Hope that helps.
