Office 2010 nearing RTM, free upgrade for some 2007 users

Does it have any other requirements such as capacity and driver versions?

Why is the boxed Professional version 150$ more than the product key alone? Is cardboard and plastic so expensive in Redmond?

Save about 3GBs for your new office thats about all I can think of atm.

Thats a great deal even though its kinda too late for me to eligible but, I'm looking forward to Office 2010 especially the new Outlook. Love the fact they're going social networking with it. I hope it get included in the Home and Student editions.

If outlook works better then 2007, it so effing slow! I would be interested...

I agree with ourboyblue- Free and MS just don't go together. I wish they did but......nope they just don't!

I have Office 2007 Ultimate and I really don't see any reason at all to goto 2010. I suppose if people were still running Office XP, 2000 or even 2003 then the upgrade would definately be worth it (I for one LOVE the Office 2007).

I use Open office, Ashampoo Office 2008 full version and Softmaker Office
But i am also trying the Beta version Of MS Office 2010, it is faster than Open office and richer in features

so i wonder if this works if you get a student discount....it's a tempting idea actually. Imagine getting all of office 2010 for only $30....

It's a good price and I am so excited to see what are the additional functionalities of Office 2010. Microsoft just release a beta version of office 2010 wherein it is valid until October and it's quite pretty good.
