>>Well it looks like Microsoft is going to stick us with the Office 2008 prices. 500 rocks for the full-up set bites muchly. And the upgrade is as much as Office 2004 cost back in 2004 at $300. If I could skip it, I would, but I can't - I have customers, you see.<< Jeff - To me, it looks like the low-end version will be everything I need. Who cares about Microsoft's attempt to make managing your media easier? Apple has that covered already. For $150, you get Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. They can keep the rest. I guess if you need Exchange connectivity you have to go for the mid-range version. But otherwise, I couldn't be bothered. - Allen
