[citation][nom]denise100[/nom]Amazon apparently has some serious discounts on Office 2010 if you get a product keycard instead of the physical editions. The prices seem pretty good to me given that we are talking about full versions here and not upgrade versions.[/citation]
I checked out that Product Key Card deal, and it is good... for 1 PC. The standard retail Home & Student edition is licensed for up to 3 PCs, so a much better deal if you have more than one machine (like me).

As I am using 2007, I don't think that I will be upgrading to 2010. Too little changes for maybe too much.

Maybe someday but not now.

It's exciting to try something new. I like to buy this if I can afford, I hope it doesn't cost too much.

The changes to the file name extensions were due to them being completely new types of files based on XML. That hasn't changed this time around, and probably will never happen again...it's also not something that I would say was a bad thing.

The file extensions won't change but the actual file structure will. Office Open XML won't be finalised until the next version of Office. Yes, they need 3 versions of Office to roll out a new file format that could have been replaced by the OpenDocument Format instead :lol:

I'm more interested in Visual Studio 2010. I only realised yesterday that it was released a short time ago

Unless 2010 is back to the old menu type (office 97-2000-xp-2003)
Im not buying it..

The new look of office 2007 made me go back to 2000/2003

I hate 2007 version
