| 798694 | 2009-08-06 02:55:00 | Judging by the number of times I have had to run the Repair module on Word and Excel in the last few months, I am beginning to think that "free" for any version of Office 2007 is overpriced!!! | johcar (6283) | ||
| 798695 | 2009-08-06 05:04:00 | I have always thought that it is unfair and semi illegal to sell the same product to different people for such a large difference in price. Eg can a student go and buy a brand new toyota for $10,000 ? |

| 798698 | 2009-08-06 05:15:00 | I have always thought that it is unfair and semi illegal to sell the same product to different people for such a large difference in price. Eg can a student go and buy a brand new toyota for $10,000 ? I think it is a moral thing. Telecom got into a lot of trouble, when they were charging businesses substantially more for broadband than they were charging home users. Even though they were getting the same service. They ended up fixing this, and reduced the pricing to businesses, which has resulted in their profits falling a lot. MS are a pretty arrogant company from my perception, from the way they treated their customers on Fair Go. My father works at one of those unis, so he may get a copy, although I think staff already has free access to a universal licence through the unis library. The fact is, MS are already offering many of their customers outside NZ windows 7 for just $US50. They are however doing nothing to help NZ businesses, especially in a time of recession. I also think calling it the 'big steal' is poor, considering they are so tough on piracy, it sends mixed messages about piracy and 'stealing' software. |

Many businesses can't afford to buy MS office, or regually upgrade. I was forced to upgrade when I got vista, becuase Outlook XP doesn't work properly on Vista. |

| 798700 | 2009-08-06 07:00:00 | Does it only have one licence or 3 like the student version of office 07 in the shops? | gary67 (56) | ||

| 798702 | 2009-08-06 10:35:00 | "Product keys will be available for 2 installs for a desktop and mobile device." from www.microsoft.com WHat if you upgrade from XP to Vista, or from Vista to Windows 7? Do you need to purchase a new copy. According to the microsoft terms for Digital downloads, it is not clear. |
