Does anyone know for definite whether the MS Office offer has been extended in the UK or not?

So far, even Apple UK don't seem to know as the eNews says the offer is extended:
http://email.euro.apple.com/store/asnews/subscribe/current/uk/
but then the links to the offer page say the normal Jan 31st date.

I have called Apple twice (just to be sure) and the first said the offer WAS extended and the second said NO (and didn't even seem aware it was extended in the US).

I can't afford to miss out on such a discount, but at the same time there is a fairly reliable rumour that there will be a set of speedbumps to the iMac range next week (and hence the 1 week delay on the release of iLife).

If the rumour is wrong, or the offer hasn't been extended, I could be one unhappy bunny, but I'd be even more gutted if an iMac with Bluetooth and a speedbump appeared two days after buying a normal iMac

obit,

What a classic! I'm not surprised the person I spoke to on the phone knew nothing - if you click on the "Learn More" link, all you get are the bits of information I came up with - 31st Jan.

They really ought to have a more thorough webmaster as I found two or more references to the offer with only the one you pointed out actually having the April info!

At any rate - at least I can hold out now for the new hardware (I hope!)
