Done deal

However, if like me you're already using Office 2007 & have been for some time... tough!

The upgrade is a free online upgrade, but there is also the option for a hard copy on disk. You have to pay Postage and Packaging for that though (im sure you are all aware of the very similar windows 7 upgrade scheme that was offered, and that P&P was charged at around £20 by the OEM manufacturers).

Im not sure if the upgrade disks differ from the 2010 retail version, or if they are the same without a serial key.

im hoping they simply put the 2010 office in the student "ultimate steal" offer when its released as the 2010 beta is fine for now!

EDIT: "Buy Office 2007 Today, Download Office 2010 when available.
Terms and conditions apply."
