Re: Upgrading to Office Pro 2007 or Office Small Business 2007
Don,
Thanks for the advice. My use is not commercial in nature, meaning I use it
for my own personal use. I do have my own work issued laptop that I use for
the company that I work for. However, I often save work to a flash drive and
bring home and work on home pc so that I don't have to lug my laptop
everywhere.
Additional question: Because my wife is a teacher, I think she qualifies
for educational discount on several different versions of office. Couldn't I
verify this and then, if true, buy versions that way?

Re: Upgrading to Office Pro 2007 or Office Small Business 2007
As far as I know, Microsoft has no way of determining and likely no interest
if you occasionally bring work home.
Someone else will need to provide you information on academic editons and
educational discounts. Your wife may want to check with her school
administration.
