MS Office 2007 question

[Taz]

I'm just speccing up a brand new PC system and am pricing up various MS Office 2007 options. I see the following two products listed on the Scan site:

- Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Win32 English CD *RETAIL* - £81.06

- Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Win32 English CD *RETAIL* - £284.57

Could someone explain the difference please? Also, I am assuming that I will be fine ordering the first (cheaper) option for home use (even though i'm not student). I need to be absolutely sure that I buy the correct version from a licensing point of view.

Home & Student edition is for home or academic use only. If you are using it for work you should not be using H&SE. Also Standard comes with Outlook, whereas H&SE does not.

^ I'll be using it for home use only, not for work. I guess that should be okay then?

So long as you don't need Outlook then it makes sense

Home & Office can also be installed on 3 systems, so perfect for your lappy or whatever else too

better idea would be to download open office IMO, much better.... and of course a helluva lot cheaper!
