I think most research universities offer some kind of SPSS license. I paid $10 for a year for mine and it comes with the works (all the extra analyses, AMOS, etc.).
That being said I really hate SPSS 16 (though I haven't patched yet, hopefully that fixes things).
The new version is slow as hell, full of bugs, and just an enormous step down in almost every way from the old versions. I don't know what the hell is wrong with 2007/2008 software, but it seems like almost all the "new" versions of things that came out in the last year were worse than the originals!
What is the deal with the new version of SPSS? I was reading on their website that they only offer rental copies for the "graduate pack" now? Is this true?
I also saw that they incorporated Java into v.16 which sounded pretty neat, but not if it has problems like you say.
