| 885509 | 2010-05-16 22:42:00 | As AvonBill put: Retail Home and Student 2007 can be installed on 3 PCs. OEM = One PC. The one you got -- Dunno, as I never had it. The $239 @ DSE is currently a bit over priced. What happens is suppliers often do discounts at certain times of the year - and lower the retail pricing - thats when the "specials" come on. BUT just looking at DSE's current price --- nope. |

BUT just looking at DSE's current price --- nope . Yep, the Ultimate Steal has Outlook . Generally it's a bit cheaper . Optional CD . One license per student only even if he/she has a PC and a laptop . Nor can you buy 2x copies because it requires your student email . Re: the Student and Home Edition . I take it any student and family person can get it? For argument sake is a home business ok? Some larger business I suspect might be able to get that for cheaper even if it's not the right thing to do . . . . . |

As far as I know, Home and Student is just a name, as that is the target market for that edition, not having Outlook means it's often unsuitable for businesses, and large businesses would get a volume license edition, which would be either Professional or Enterprise . There is nothing stopping a small business from buying a copy of Home and Student, as it is just a retail package . |

| 885512 | 2010-05-17 00:25:00 | Yeah something like a Motel owner or a small accountant firm could use Home / Office I guess :D | Nomad (952) | ||
| 885513 | 2010-05-17 01:14:00 | Yeah something like a Motel owner or a small accountant firm could use Home / Office I guess :D"Legally" thats wrong . But many places do anyway . On the Microsoft Office Page ( . microsoft . com/en-us/suites/ha101655301033 . aspx" target="_blank">office . microsoft . com), under Pricing and ordering, and also on written on the retail box it actually states not for business usage . Q:As a small business can I use office home and Student 2007 at my work? A: No . Office Home and Student 2007 is licensed only for noncommercial use by households . |

| 885517 | 2010-05-17 03:58:00 | A lot of businesses use SBE (Small Business Edition) basically the same as professional but without Access or Standard heres a list of all products (office.microsoft.com) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 885518 | 2010-05-17 04:32:00 | I want to get Office 2010 when it comes out (just to get more up to date - I have Office 2002.) But I need Access and Publisher which makes it dearer of course. I am going to try to get a student version. I am only a small business, and will be much smaller If I paid $800 to Microsoft ! I have always felt that they should offer users of older software a trade-in upgrade price as we have been loyal supporters all along. |
