There ARE a limited number of 2007 products you can BUY today and receive
FREE 2010, so I suggest this URL:

http://office2010.microsoft.com/en-us/tech-guarantee/microsoft-office-2010-technology-guarantee-faq-HA101812304.aspx

Then click on "What Office 2007 products qualify..."

For what Jack indicated he needed - my previous post of

"Microsoft Office Standard 2007 FULL VERSION at USD $318.54

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000HCVR3A/encouragersof-20

Buy Microsoft Office Standard 2007 today - get Office Home and Business
2010 free"

might possibly meets his needs (and others)

Peter,

In one of two places - use this handy chart - Buy 2007 Suite - Get THIS
2010 Suite

http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Office-Suites/category/202

OR

http://office2010.microsoft.com/en-us/tech-guarantee/microsoft-office-2010-technology-guarantee-faq-HA101812304.aspx

Then click on "What Office 2007 products qualify..."

(NOTE: Purchase and activate a qualifying Office 2007 product between March
5, 2010, and September 30, 2010, and you can download Office 2010 at no
additional cost.)

The 2nd reference includes:

Office Standard 2007 - get Office Home and Business 2010

Buy Office Basic 2007 - get Office Home and Business 2010

David
