Yes, the Buy Office 2007 now - get Office 2010 Free is a unique kind of offer to prevent sales from decreasing when a new major version is released. I think many who participate in it will be VERY happy with Office 2010 - it's not just a few feature upgrades here and there in each product, but a whole new improved set of methodologies and features including co-authoring, powerpoint broadcast, outlook conversation view, office web apps, and ways to share information and co-editing across many platforms - whether it be phone, internet, servers, desktops, etc David > albeit all online since availability of DVD > from Microsoft isn't clear as yet to this reseller.

From: Prithvi on 20 May 2010 01:45 Noted. The date set for release in S.E.Asia is Sept'10 as per reseller ... funny.. but I am presuming this will be preponed [MS may be conveying a later date to pre-empt traffic woes ;-) ]. Thanks David - I'll post next when I get the same on my 3PCs & if you are saying Off2010 is a good thing to have, then I'll take your "word" for it :-) Cheers !!

I have been using Office PRO 2007 since when I installed Vista Ultimate - early 2007 - and Office Pro Plus 2010 beta earlier this year (and RTM version of Office Pro Plus 2010 when released to MSDN subscribers) I realize many can not afford to easily update to latest, but for those who can manage - Office 2010 is a leap ahead in productivity and more efficient use as compared to previous releases. There are some REAL bargains out there presently when you purchase from qualified Microsoft resellers - for example. Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 FULL VERSION (must buy FULL Version, not upgrade to qualify) http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-Small-Business-VERSION/dp/B000HCXKKS/encouragersof-20 USD $318.48 Buy Office 2007 - Office 2010 Free http://office2010.microsoft.com/en-us/tech-guarantee/microsoft-office-2010-technology-guarantee-faq-HA101812304.aspx Click on - What Office 2007 products qualify...
