Hi guys, my uncle bought a new Hp (Slim) Computer,
it has Windows 7 64bit and, to make the story short, you know how most retail machines get all this useless programs, and the ones that one actually needs, only come in trial versions; in this case, Office 2007 being the case.
So now we are checking what Office Edition he actually needs:
- Ms Office Home & Student 2007: $140 Dlls
- Ms Office Home & Student 2007 OEM: $80 Dlls
- Ms Office 2007 Professional: $460 Dlss
- Ms Office 2007 Standard: $370 Dlls
- Ms Office 2007 Standard Upgrade: $210 Dlls
-Or, does he only have to call Microsoft to get a cheaper deal
and get a key or something?
I usually get any version there is and install it,
but since this is the first PC he's bought... well you get the idea; so I just want to lay out the options for him.
Tnx guys.

I think your uncle can firstly have a try OpenOffice which is a free software
If it's enough for him,he can just use it.
If not,he can check what to require and buy the right version of MS Office.

Whats he going to use Office for ? E-mail jokes or he needs the program for work .
I never use a single thing but some obscure Power Point joke my buddies send me . Sooo my point is does he need it ?

OpenOffice, yeah I've heard of it but never tried it. I guess as 'Olmek' said, he can give it a go and see if it meets his needs.
And yes 'peat moss' I normally agree with that, I even use word or excel only because they are there, but aside from that.
But as it turns out he actually does use those apps and has come to rely a great deal on them both for work and other stuff.
