Microsoft Office now only R 1.2 million

Let's be fair. That is for 2 PC's or macs, and includes 20GB of skydrive storage. Kind of a big deal, so completely justified for the price at $129 000.
 
Guess they saw their mistake, it's $131,178.69 now... Now that's more like it!
 
It is almost unbelievable that that the prices are still the same (or a bit increased) after a 7 day period. This may very well be the actual price. I can't see a company like Microsoft not noticing and/or not correcting it if it was a mistake.
