882023 2010-05-03 09:52:00 If you are a student or work at a uni, you can get the full version for just $80. www.microsoft.com robbyp (2751)
882024 2010-05-03 11:27:00 Re the upgrade thing, if you buy Office 2007 Small Business, because there is no SBE in 2010, they upgrade you to pro. Cheap way to buy it. Alex B (15479)
882025 2010-05-03 21:49:00 Why would they upgrade you to Pro instead of Home & Business Edition? Chilling_Silence (9)
882026 2010-05-03 22:35:00 Because 2010 Pro is the closest match to 2007 SBE, as a result of consolidating the 6 or so editions in to 3.
Home & Student 2007 -> Home & Student 2010
Basic or Standard 2007 -> Home & Business 2010
Small Business, Pro, or Ultimate 2007 -> Pro 2010
Individual Product 2007 -> Individual Product 2010

882027 2010-05-04 07:40:00 When I look at the pricing at Lapshop I find the following:

The license
gives the student or faculty staff member the right to install the product on one computer.

You are limited to ordering only 1 of this program.

Are the conditions different because it is the educational/academic version? And are there other places I can look for educational/academic pricing?

For academic isn't that priced from MS so it won't be lower than $80.
You have to download it after using your student email address.
If you want a media CD/DVD that's an extra $25.
I think there is just one version for academic. It's the same for teachers or students.

Back in 2000 I know the academic version allowed you 2 copies, a PC and lappie, seems not now.

At 2000 it was $300 bucks I think. You could buy 2x $80 :p that's if you are allowed. Correction: not allowed. One edition per student.
